LouyiUna.

What often befalls two classes of persons befell Louysi- 1700-25
ana. The one class, with acknowledged and superior
merit, for some inexplicable reason, never succeed in ob-
taining their due meed of justice, or in displaying their
talents, remaining useless and obscure, while possessing
every requisite for attaining the highest reputation and
rendering the most essential services to the state.

The other class, from the fact that too favorable an
opinion was formed of them at first, or an imaginary
merit attributed to them instead of a real one, are rejected
in spite of solid merit, being compelled to bear the penalty
of the hasty judgments formed in regard to them. Unless
I am much deceived, my readers will themselves apply this
to the province with which I close my History.

We have seen that the Spaniards under Ferdinand de
Soto had, at great expense, attempted to settle Florida ;
that their commander spent the whole last year of his life
in exploring bo'^ banks of the Micissipi, called by his his-
torian, Garcilaso de la Yega, the Cucagua ; that neither
he nor his successor, Moscoso, took any steps to found a
colony ; and that, for a long time after, men seemod to be
ignorant in Spain that one of the greatest rivers in the
world ran through Florida, watering a delightful country,
with a healthy and temperate climate, the possession of
which would secure to the Catholic King all the Gulf of
Mexico.

The French, after discovering all the known course of
this same river, seemed to pay scarcely any greater atteu-

-^ T ■-' years glided by in this indifferouce ; at lost the proximity
to the mines of New Mexico, and those published as hav-
ing been discovered in Loaysiaua itself, having aroused
our nation from this lethargy, the kingdom in loss than
three years sent out more men, money and material to
found a settlement in that part of America, than had loft
France for any one of our colonies in the New World since
the days of Francis I.

But when it was evident that this country produced nei-
ther gold nor silver, and that it was not easy to make the
wealth, which New Spain possessed within it, flow in
Louysiana, the province suddenly fell under general cen-
sure : no one regarded the fertility of the soil, or the pro-
ductions it would yield with moderate toil, nor the import-
ance of establishing a naval station on the Qulf of Mexi-
co. The treasures brought from France disappeared ; meu
died of want, although they had all requisite to Uvo iii opu-
lence, or else they dispersed on all sides, as we shall see in
the sequel of this history.
wltaM in When d'Iberville left it, in April, 1700, Louysiana had no
French settlements except those of some Canadians, in
Illinois, a fort near the mouth of the Micissipi, which last-
ed only till 1705, and another at Biloxi on the sea shore.
Mr. de Sanvole commanded in this latter, which was the
headquarters. The former had been intrusted by d'Iber-
ville to his brother de Bienville and the Sieur Juohe-
reau de St. Denys,' his wife's uncle, a man much esteemed
by the Indians, and a fluent speaker of the languages of
several nations. He had also, on parting, given orders to
his kinsman, le Sueur, to proceed to the Sioux country

17U0.

another river emptying on the left, and which bus boon
called Riviere Verte, (Green llivor,)' becauso earth falling
from the mine gives it that color. Le Sueur could sail up
this river only about a league, finding it covered with
floating ice, although it was only the end of September.
This compelled him to throw up at that spot a kind of
to. t> to pass the winter, which proved extremely severe,
and lasted till the beginning of April.

The writer who gives an account of this voyage, states a Roinarkn'
circumstuuoe which is worthy of notice, lie says that
having run out of provisions, they made up for it by hunt-
ing buiTaloes ; that to preserve the iiosh of those animals,
they quartered them, and for want of salt, loft them in the
air, where they soon spoiled ; that at first they found it
very hard to accustom themselves to this food, which gave
them all dian'hceus and fevers, with such a loathing for it,

that thoy could not oveu bear the smell ; but t)>flir stomach
gradually buciiiue so adapted to it, that at the end of six
weeks there was not one among them who did not eat ten
pounds a day and drink four bowls of eoup ; that far from
being atfoctod by it, they became quite fut, and not one
was sick.'

As soon as April cume, le Sueur proceeded to the mine,
which was only two miles and a quarter distant, and in
twenty-two days he got out thirty thousand pounds of ore ;
ho picked out four thousand of what seemed richest and
Bent it to France. The spot worked by him is at the be-
ginning of a mountain which is ten leagues long, and all
apparently of the same character. It is on the bank of
the river, does not produce a single tree, and is constantly
enveloped in mists, even in the finest weather. The soil
where the ore is extracted is green, and you ca \ scratch
the copper with a knife ; but you must first take ofif a kind
of crust as hard as rock, black and burned like coal by the
vapor issuing from the ore. Many rather iutorosting inci-
dents, too long to detail here, but still more, want of funds
evented le Sueur from pushing this enterprise.*
The next year d'Iborvillo made a third voyage to Louy-
siuna, and began a post on Maubile River. He even laid
the foundations of a fort to which de Bienville, (who be-
came commandant on do Sauvole's death,) soon after
transferred all that there was at Biloxi, abandoning the
latter post." In 1702 d'Iberville returned for the fourth
time and erected on Massacre Island storehouses and bar-
racks, because as that island had a port, it was much
easier to loud goods brought from France there, than to
Bend them on sloops to Fort Maubile.' It was at this time

the French to tho Spaniards, among whom they had long
been settled ; but these last excepted, to whom for a time
a missionary was assigned, no more suitable steps wore

dounutcur. jjjg gettlers to cultivate the soil, which seemed quite fertile
along Maubilo llivor, so that they might not be obliged to
wander aboiit, living by hunting or with the Indians when-
ever the ships from France were late in bringing pro-
visions, as it happened on several occasions.'

But success did not crown his hopes. Around Maubile
there is only a mere surface of good soil, and moreover,
wheat can never ripen there well on account of the fogs,
which produce rust. They made up for this for some time
by raising tobacco, which succeeded better." D'Artaguette,
in a letter dated January 10th, 1711, says tliat Maubile
tobacco was esteemed above the Virginian.

He added that in the month of September of the preced-
ing year, an Enghsh corsair had ravaged Dauphin Island,
plundered and bm'ned the houses and stores, wreaked unpar-
alleled cruelties on the people to force them to tell where
they hud hidden their money, and that the damage done to
the King and to individuals amounted to eighty thousand
francs,' whence he concluded that it was absolutely neces-
sary to fortify the island. The Commissaire reasoned well
according to the prevailing idea, which was to plant the

King appointed as his Successor the Sieur de la Motte

This expedition he confided to the Sieur de St. Denys,"
and it could not have been placed in better hands. The Gov-
ernor gave him ten thousand francs' worth of goods, and
agreed with him that they were to be stored among the
Natchitoches, an Indian tribe on Red River, with whom de
Bienville and this same Saint Denys had formed an alli-
ance in 1701, and of which some members had, within a
few years, settled on the Micissipi, near the Colapissas.

Saint Denys, deeming it expedient to take these Natchi-
toches with him, proposed it through Penicaut, a ship-car-
penter. This man had accompanied lo Sueur to his cop-
per-mine : he had made several other excursions on the
Micissipi, and understood almost all the Indian languages
of Louysiana. He himself had brought the Natchitoches
to the Colapissas, and had no difficulty in persuading them
to return to their former abode with de Saint Denys.

But the Colapissas, who had received them with great
humanity, and who had found them not useless, were so
offended to see them depart without even any apology,
that they pursued them, killed seventeen, and carried off a
great many of their women and children. The rest es-
caped through the woods and reacln d de Saint Denys,
who was awaiting them at Biloxi. He set out with them,
and passing through the village of the Tonicas, induced
the chief of that nation to follow him with fifteen of his

whom he intended to station there ; ho induced some other
Indians to join the Natchitoches, assuring them that ho
would never forsake them, and he distributed among both,
agricultural implements and seed to sow. He then select-
ed twelve of the Frenchmen whom he had brought along,
and some Indians, and leaving Red Eiver, which is not
navigable above the Island of the Natchitoches, took his
route westward.

After twenty days' march he reached the Assinais,*
neighbors of the Cenis, if they are not the Cenis them-
selves,' and quite near the spot where de la Sale was killed.
But the fact is, that these Indians did not recollect to
have ever before seen Frenchmen, or know any other Eu-
ropeans than some Spaniards, who went naked like them-
selves and lived miserably. The Assinais gave de Saint
Denys guides, and ha travelled one hundred and fifty
leagues further to the southwest, before reaching the first
Spanish settlements.

At last he found, on the banks of a great river, a fort
which bore the name of San Juan Bautista, and Presidio

1710-25. Saint Denys held no rank in Louysiana, serving only as
a volunteer ; hero he was oflfered a company in the caval-
ry, an offer to tempt a Canadian officer without means ; he
refused it, however, and iu spite of all they could say, ad-
hered to his refusal. The Viceroy told him that he was
already half a Spaniard, as ho sought the hand of the
daughter of Don Pedro de Vilescas, and was to marry her
on his return to Fort San Juan.

Saint Denys replied : " I cannot dissemble, since your
excellency is informed that I love that lady, but I had
not indulged the hope of winning her as my wife." " You
will obtain it," said the Viceroy, " if you accept the offer I
have made, and I give you two months to consider it."
At the end of that time he sounded him again, and finding
him inflexible, dismissed him, placing in his hands a
purse of a thousand dollars, saying that it was for his
wedding expenses. " I hope," ho added, " that Doiia Ma-
ria will be more fortunate than myself in persuading you
to remain in New Spain. As for establishing trade with
Louysiana, which you have come so far to solicit, it is not
possible for me to grant it to you."

The next day he sent him a very fine bay horse from
Spauiurds ^^^ stables, and had him escorted ' to Caouis by an offi-
cer and two mounted men. There he found Jallot await-
ing him, his surgical skill having won him very great respect
in the country. They proceeded to the quarters of Don
Pedro de Vilescas,' whom they found in great pei-plexity.
That commandant had just learned that the whole popu-
lation of f'^ur Indian to^vns, exasperated at the oppression
of the Spaniards at Presidio del Norte, had just set out to
emigrate elsewhere, and he feared to be held responsible
for this desertion, which, moreover, reduced his fort to
great extremity, as the garrison owed its subsistence
almost entirely to these very Indians.

them. Don Pedro embraced him, but warned him of the
great risk of going alone ; Saint Denys replied that he
felt no fear, and at once with Jallot mounted his horse.
He soon overtook the Indians, whose baggage, men ' and
children rendered the march very slow. As soon as he
perceived them at a distance, ho put his handkerchief on
a rod as a flag, then advanced towards the chiefs, who
awaited his approach.

He showed them, using the Spanish language, to what
dangers they would be exposed by venturing among tribes
i,nat they did not know, but whom he knew to be very un-
sociable and cruel. He then told them that if they would
return to their former abode, he would guarantee, in the
name of the commandant, that no Spaniard should ever
set foot in their villages unless they approved it, and that
in the future they should have only reason to praise the
officers and soldiers.

They yielded to his arguments, and Don Pedro was no
less surprised than delighted to see his guest return with
all the Indians, whose flight would undoubtedly have
proved his ruin. He instantly ratified all the promises
made by Saint Denys, and they returned to their towns,
which the Spaniards were forbidden to enter under pain
of death, unless by express permission.'

After this great service, Saint Denys had no difficulty in
inducing Yilescas to give him his daughter in marriage,
and the wedding was celebrated with all the Spanish
pomp and magnificence that the place permitted. The
newly-married pair remained there together six months,
when Saint Denys thought that he should no longer delay
in returning to report to de la Motte Cadillac tho result of

Bionaries, made them regard the
SponiardB favorably. The chacuano

Vilescas, his wife's uncle, leaving her with child and pro-
mising to return as soon as poisible for her.'

During the whole course of these negotiations and ad-
ventures, the Governor of Louysiana had sent the Sieur
de la Loire to the Natchez, with goods to establish store-
houses. There he found Englishmen from Carolina, come
to induce these Indians, with the Yazous and CI"' has'
to declare war on other nations, so as to bring in captives,
and it was all carried out. They were even su.r oected of
intriguing against us, and la Loire soon after received
orders to arrest their officer, who had remained alone
among the Natchez.

He obeyed, and the officer was taken to Maubile, where
Mr. de Bienville, who command'^d there in the absence of
Mr. de la Motte Cadillac, regaled him well for three days»
after which he permitted him to return. He took his
route by Pensacola, where the governor, Don Guzman,
also gave him a cordial welcome ; but while endeavoring
to reach Carolina through the Alibamons, he fell in with a
hunting band of Tomez Indians, who tomahawked him.
What then roused these Indians against the English, does
not appear, but most of them suddenly rose against them.

They had a warehouse in a Tchactas (Choctaw) village,
which these Indians plundered, murdering all who had

dangerous whirlpool, a party of one hundred and fifty of
their tribe, armed with muskets, were lying in wait for
them, commanded by a chief named le Barbu, and that he
would infallibly be slain there. This avowal of eight men,
all stating the same thing, indi^ced la Loire to turn back ;
but as } 0 had every reason to believe that there was a
general conspiracy among tho Natchez, he was filled with
anxiety in regard to his brother.

Penicaut, who accompanied him, offered to rescue him
from the great village of the Natchez, and adopted these
steps to effect his design. The whole party having arrived
about an hour and a half before nightfall at the Natchez
landing, Penicaut went ashore alone, telling la Loire to
wait for him till midnight, and that if he did not appear by
that time, to give him up for dead ; in which case his only
course would be to push on. He then advanced towards
the cabin of the younger la Loire, w jich was a league dis-
tant, carrying only his gun, powder-flask and a few balls.

As he approached the village, some Natchez, who per-
ceived him, ran to tell la Loire that a Frenchman was
coming ; he came out to see who it was, and recognizing
Penicaut, asked tidings of his brother and the reason of
his coming. Penicaut told him that he had fallen sick ;
but once in his cabin, he told him to send for the Great
Chief of the Natchez, who came at once. Penicaut told
him that six of the eight Natchez who had started with
the Sieur de la Loire and him, to go to the Illinois, hav-

This tho Groat Chiof proniisod, and ho added that Mr.
de la Loire had done well to go no further, as he had
been very anxious about him on account of tho Yazoos, a
treacherous tribe, hostile to the French. Peuioant mado
no reply, and manifested absolute confidouco in tho chief ;
but when tho latter retired, ho informed la Loire of tho
motive of his coming, and showed him that ho must think
only of escaping, and that there was not a moment to lo.so.
This was no easy matter, la Loire told him, as three In-
diana slept in his room ; but Ponicaut reassured him, aad
was sanguiue of success.

When it was really night, they lay down, and tho In-
dians first fell asleep ; Fenicaut would have stabbed them,
but la Loire prerented him, thinking it not easy to kill
three men before one of them might have a chance to cry
out. Fenicaut then gently opened the door and let out la
Loire, who had taken the precaution of loading his gun.
A few minutes later he glided out himself, double
locked the room on the outside and r a after his
companion, whom he soon overtook. As they approached
the landing, they met the older la Loire, who had begun
to bo alarmed ; they embarked at once, and dismissed the
eight Natchez after liberally rewarding them.'

About ten o'clock in the morning they reached the Thechiufof
Tonicas, and while they were there, they saw thi'eo n^fusisto
Natchez arrive, whom the Great Chief, furious at tho plot.
escape of the la Loires, sent to tho chief of the Tonicas,
to induce him to massacre all the French who were in his
village. The Tonica, who was an upright man, a sincere
friend of the French, was indignant at such a proposal.'
Ho would have tomahawked tho man who dared make it.

tho two brothers who had just e8cai)od from tho Natchoz.'
As thoy passed before tho liay of tho Tonicas, they noticed
a bag hanging from tho branch of a tico on tho river sido,
and in this bag thoy found a letter from Mr. Davion, wlio,
UHCortainiiig that they wouhl pass by thero without stop-

his way from tho Illinois, had been taken by the Natchez;
that these savages, after plundering him of all his goods,
had taken him to their village, cut off his foet and hands,
and cast him, still living, into a mudholo.'

Up to this time, Mr. de Bienville had imagined that tho
Messrs. do la Loiro had been seized with a mere panic ;
tho perusal of this letter disabused him. He did not
even deem himself strong enough to march direct ui)on
tho Natchez ; he entered tho Bay of tho Tonicas, built
a fort, and sent du Tisno >''^h twenty men to tho Great
Chief of the Natchez, tn tell him that he had some
matters to impart to him, and that he begged tho chief to
meet him at the Tonicas. Du Tisno returned tho next
day and informed de Bienville that tho Great Chief would
soon follow him. He did not, however, leave his village,
but sent to the French commandant some subaltern chiefs,
with about twenty-five men.

What he demanded, was, they replied, not in their

party to their Great Chief, to notify him of the comman-
dant's intentions. Ho consented on condition that all tho
others should remain his prisoners, and ho at once had
them conveyed to a c.ibin, whoro a strict watch was
kept over them.' Those who went to tho Natchez soon
returned and presented to tho commandant the head of
a man' whom tho Great Chief had put to death, but
who really was not ono of tho murderers. Bionvillo
asked them whether thoy intended to make game of
him, and added that ho must havo thj heads of the
culprits, especially tho head of a chief whom he hod

The envoys replied that this chief was tho nephow of

the four murderers of the French, and might bring them

one chief so notorious throughout tlie country for his cru-
elties and acts of treachery, that all the nations had long
desired his death."

This expedition ended, a consultation was held on the
most expedient course in the actual conjuncture, and it
was unanimously decided, that as the Natchez, if driven to
extremes, were able to interrupt the navigation of the
river and all communication with the Illinois, it was better
to profit by the terror which we had succeeded in inspir-
ing, to make an advantageous peace with them, and to
offer as a favor the following conditions :

1. Ihat they should erect at their own expense, and in a
place to be assigned in their great village, a fort with
storehouses and barracks necessary for the garrison and
the storekeepers to be established there. ~ 2. That they
should restore all the goods taken from the French, and
make full reparation for all the other losses which they
had caused. 3. That the Great Chief's nephew, of whom
complaint wa-s made, should not appear in the village, un-
der the penalty of having his head broken. These articles
were read to the deputies, who approved them, and Mr. de
Pailloux was dispatched with twenty men to have them
ratified by the Great Chief.'

He entered the village with drums beating and ensign
unfurled ; the whole tribe, \vho loved the French, came out
to meet him, and received him with great acclamations.
He went directly to the Sun's cabin and presented to him
the conditions of peace : the chief accepted them, and
said that he simply awaited Mr. de Bienville's orders to
begin work on the fort- and on this reply, which was
communicated to the commandant, he came up from the

followed by all his towns, received him as he disembarked
from his canoe.

The next day he selected the spot where he wished tho
fort erected ; it was laid out at once, and do Pailloux ap-
pointed to superintend the work. It was completed at the
end of six weeks, and Bienville, who had returned to his
camp at the Tonicas, came up with all tie French to take
possession. He added quarters for the officers, barracks
Tor the soldiers and magazines both for merchandise and
for ammunition and army stores.

The fort was named Rosalie, after Madame de Pont-
chartrain, wife of tho Chancellor, a iiame, as I have else-
where observed, already proposed by Mr. d'Iberville for a
city which he designed founding at this very spot. The
Natchez then sang the calumet to Mr. do Bienville,' who
spent all the rest of that year, 1714' at Rosalie. Before
leaving it, he placed the Sieur de Pailloux in command,
assigning to him du Tisno aa lieutenant. He proceeded
at once to Maubile, where he remained only long enough
to prepare a great convoy, which he himself conducted to
the Natchez.

It was about the same time that Mr. de Saint Denys
arrived at Maubile, and as the reply which he bore from
the Viceroy of Now Spain deprived de la Motte Cadillac
of all hope of carrying on trade with the Spaniards
openly, he thought it his duty to prevent their approach-
ing too closely to us, as they seemed bent on doing ; with
this view, he dispatched the Sieur du Tisne to build &
fort on the Island of the Natchitoches. Scarcely was
this fort completed when du Tisno was informed that the
Spaniards had established a post among the Assinais,
and there was every reason to believe that they designed
to push on to vhe Micissipi, had they not been preveut-

state of Meanwhile, the exclusive commerce granted to Crozat
commerce ^" 1712, far from accelerating the progress of the Colony
of Louysiana, had been prejudicial to it, nor had Crozat
derived from it all the benefit he had promised himself.
These two things always go together ; to acquire wealth
by the trade of a colony, it must be peopled, and the
inhabitants made consumers of the goods sent there, giv-
ing in return. This cannot be attained without great out-
lay. The a engaged in such enterprises must select care-
fully the men to whom V 3y confide their interests.
Nothing of this was done, and all parties sufl'ered.

To understand well what the sequel of this history
obliges me to aay on this point, we must go back a little,
and state more in detail the actual position of Louysiana,
•when Crozat obtained the privilege above mentioned, and
the position when he renounced that privilege. In 1712
there were in all that province only twenty-eight French
families, not half of them engaged in cultivating the soil,
or pruperly styled settlers ; the rest were traders, inn-
keepers and mechanics not permanently settled in any
place.

Trade was then conducted only at Maubile and Isle
Dauphine, and the only articles were planks, bear, deer
and cat-skins and other like furs. The voyageurs or
bushlopers, almost all Canadians, went to the Indians, to
barter such French goods as they could get, for peltries

he facilitated tlio entrance of the
Spaniards into Texas, and by his
amiable manners won the Indiana,

of his good faith. Yet tlie Spanish
government ordered him to be car-
ried otf to (Kiateinala, and Ramon
to be removed from the frontier, a

disgrace which the latter escaped
by death in 1731, having been
killed by the Indians. Bonilla, Com-

and slaves, which thoy then sold to the settlers; these 1716-25.
last sold the peltries again to the Spaniards at Pousa- ""■ '^'
cola, or the vessels which occasionally came from Franco,
and they emiiloyod these slaves in clearing the ground, or
sawing planks, for which they found a market sometimes
at Peusacola, more frequently at Martini(jue or St. Do-
mingo. They obtained from these colonies in exchange,
sugar, tobacco, cacao and French goods when there had
been a long delay in receiving them direct.

They also carried to Pensacola, where the Spaniards
bad cleared no land, vegetables, Indian corn, poultry, and
in general, all the products of their industry which their
less ingenious and less laborious neighbors needed. All
this brought in a little money, with which they purchased
what they wero obliged to obtain from abroad : it was not
enough to enrich them, but they had quite an easy life.
They had also learned that the country would produce
tobacco, indigo, cotton and silk, but there were no hands
for all these crops ; there was no one in the colony who
could aid them, or who thought of encouraging them;
they did not even know the method of cultivating these
plants.

Moreover, the colony was by no means solidly estab-
lished, so that there was always a fear that the King
woiild abandon it, and all the care and pains they might
take would bo lost. Many even retired elsewhere, and
others remained only because thoy lacked means to go.
It is astonishing that Mr. Crozat, when acquiring the do-
main of Louysiana with the exclusive right to trade for
twenty-five years, did not inform himself of the real state
of things, so as to form his plans on these necessary
data : but it is quite ordinary on these occasions to dis-
trust the very persons from whom the most correct infor-
mation can be obtained, and whose experience fits them
most to second a new enterprise. It is feared that they
will sacrifice the new proprietary's interests to their own,
and men do not reflect that the surest way to succeed in
such afi'airs is to interest those who are most versed in it,

of the enterprise.

This Mr. Crozat failed to do, and he did not under-
stand that nothing can bo derived from a country, how
good soever it may be, when the sott'or is not allowed to
grow richei". Scarcely had he taken possession of his ex-
clusivr trade, when the vessels from the West Indies
ceased to appear in Lonysiana. At the same time the
settlers were forbidden to go to Pensacola, the very
source whence all the money cime that was current in the
colony, or to sell anything whiitcver except to Crozat's
agents, who thus found themselves in a position to piit on
the colonial products such values as they chose ; a power
which they did not fail to abuse ; at last they ra*^od pel-
tries so low, that the hunters, finding it more profitable
to dispose of them in Canada and the English colonics,
carried them all there.

By pursuing just the opposite course, Crozat's company
would have acqi;ired credit and secured the confidence of
the colonists, after whicli it might have led them to its
object, when it had increased their number and induced
them to dei'ivo from their country all that it could pro-
duce. But by cutting them oflf fi'om the little vein of sil-
ver flowing in from Pensacola, by depressing the price of
their products and wares, by fettering their commerce,
which they understood far better than the company, and
the product of which would have flowed back to the com-
pany itself, by raising the price of what they wore
obliged to elraw from France, it left them unable to sub-
sist, and still more to make their lands available.

This decline of Lonysiana trade and cultivation could
not but prove highly injurious to the King also, if we re-
flect tliat after the twenty-five years for which Crozat's
monopoly was to last, the colony would be found loss ad-
vanced than it was when granted to him, and his majesty
was not compensated by the fifty tons freight which the
company was bound to give him on its vessels. The
King indeed thus saved the expense of a ship, which ho

would havo had to send to Louysiana, to carry over all i7'6-36,
required for tbo siibsisteuco of tlio troops; but there was
a more natural way of saving this, or rather of meeting
this expense by the freight, which tho vessel would be
sure to find at Saint Domingo.

This would only require tho fitting out of a 170 ton
frigate every year, or one of those two decked English
galleys, which, for all their having a largo hold, arc still
good failers, and managed by a small crow, on account of
the lig .'uess of their movements. In fact, I say nothing
hero, except after a detailed memoir transmitted at the
time to the minister by Mr. Duclos, who, a'i already no-
ted, succeeded Mr. d'Artaguetto in the office of Com-
missaire Ordonnateur iu Louysiana, and who subse-
quently held the same office at Cap Frangois in Saint
Domingo, where ho acted so well during tho troubles that
occurred in that colony in 1723, and who was soon after
appointed Intendant of the Leeward Isles.

Crozat saw tho damage which his monopoly did to tho
King's interests sooner than he did the injury ho inliicted
on tlie people of Louysiana. This obliged him to make
new propositions to his majesty on the 5th of July, 171-1,
with the view of enabling tho officers, soldiers and other
employees, whom the King maintained in the colony, to
receive their ])ay more promptly, as well as consignments
of goods and munitions, either for public works, or for
keeping up tho forts, or for tho presents annually made to
the Indians, and the propositions were accepted. He had
some months previously presented other memoirs full of
complaints on various topics, and which disclose tho fact
that great complaints were made in Louysiana against his
monopoly.

His complaints were : 1. That the weakness of tho French
in that colony drew on them tho coutom^t of the Indians,
and left them unable to prevent those savages from con-
stantly making war on each other, the result of which
was, that it was impossible to establish any kind of trade
iu tho country, nor consequently to scud yhips from

fit. 2. That tho English were coming vwy near tho
French, who cantonctl on the Maubile River and Dauphin
Island, whoro tho lands are worthlosa, left open to the
English all tho banks of *ho Micissipi, whoro nothing
prevented their settling, and then penetrating to New
Mexico and Now Biscay : this was a general complaint
among intelligent persons. 3. That the indifference mani-
fested in France for Louysiana was inexplicable. Mr.
Crozat did not hesitate to aver that if the advantages
to bo derived from it were considered, there was no colo-
ny which it was more important for the state to preserve
and extend. The maritime commerce, said he, is almost
reduced to nothing. Yet it is only by the voyages of
merchantmen in time of peace that sailors are formed,
whom the King can employ in his naval forces when war
is declared. Hence li, is, as a general thing, important to
extend navigation, and Ly the different settlements which
might be made in Louysiana, there is hope, if the work is
seriously begun, that the commorce of that country will
in a few years employ a considerable number of ships.
So well are the Englisli convinced of the importance of
the Louysiana colony, that it is only necessary to ask the
Marshal d'Uxellos what ho hoard them say at Utrecht
about our settlement on tho Micissippi. Their conduct
since that time justifies day by day what the memoir put
forward on this point. 4. And this is Crozat's worst
complain*'., and at tho same time his reply to the objoc-
tious made him that after ^mdertaking with the King to
colonize Louysiana and establish theri all kinds of trade,
of which he admitted it was capable, it was nevertheless
in a worse condition tlian when he took control of it. He
complained that they had refused to register his Letters
Patent in the Council of that province; that all parties
opposed it, and that this opposition was fomented l>y the
officers, accustomod to trade witli tho S[)auiard8.'

his plans and rendered useless all tho money just expend-
ed on DauY)hin Island. Towards tho end of August, tho
mouth of the only harbor on •' island was closed by a
prodigious collection of sai ipod up there by a hurri-

cane. Tho island itself wns almost entirely inundated,
and many of the cattlo were drowned.'

A new roadstead had to bo sought for the ships, and
Isle Surgero was selected, afterwards called Islo aux
Vaisseaux — Ship Island. It has, howovor, only one road-
stead, a tolerably good one, except when tho wind blows
from tho north, or northwest, but these winds are rare
tlioro, and not violent. To protect tho ships, a small fort
was built on tho island, and tho Dauphin Island estab-
lishment was transferred to Biloxi, north of Ship Island,
though s'.ips cannot approach within four leagues of it.

Nothing shows more clearly how we then confined our-
selves to tho trade that might bo carried on vith the
Spaniards, than this new post : for the soil of Biloxi is no
better than that of Dauphin Island, and that post has
not oven a roadstead for tho smaller brigantines. It is
inconceivable how they could dream of placing tho coutro

It was, ucvt!rthelcs.s, this same year that tho founda-
tions were laid of tho capital of Louysiana, under tho
uauio of Now Orleans. Mr. do Ijionvillo having como
from Natchez to Maubilo to salute tho new Governor, told
him that he had remarked on tho banks of tho river a site
woU fitted for a post, and Mr. do I'Epiuai entrusted him
with its establishment ; he gave him eight salt smugglers,
just arrived from France, with carpenters, to build some
houses there. Ho at tho same time commanded Captain
Blondel to relievo Mr. do Pailloux at Natchez, tho latter
officer receiving orders to join Mr. do liienvillo and aid
him in his enterprise, which was not canned out to any
great extent at this time. Mr. do Pailloux was made
Governor of tho rising city. In my Journal I have no-
ted tho drawbacks of its situation,'

In tho early part of tho following year, thoy at last
thought of sounding tho mouth of tho Micissipi, to see
whether ships could enter with all their cargo on board,
and sixteen feet of water were found on tho bar. Tho
Neptune,' just arrived from France, was at onco scut
there, and it ascended without any difficulty to Now Or-
leans. It is astonishing, that after this experiment men
did not open their eyes to tho importance of making it at

Lonysiana and Director of tho Company, and Mr. de

Illinois without delay, taking with hiin Mr. Diron jind tho
Chevalier d'Artagiiotto, both brothers of tho former Com-
missairo Ordouuatour; tho former was a captain, and
oro long was declared luspootor-Gonoral of Louysiaua;
tho latter was a lioutenaut.

At tho same timo sovoral Indian tribes, somo of which
had long seemed hostilo to tho French, Ijko tho Chotima-
chas, settled on t.Ho Micissippi, quite near New Orleans,
and as nur i of tlieso tribes aro accustomed to tho cvdtiva-
tion of til soil, they cleared largo tracts, wliich was a ro-
sourco for tho city, since tho Indians often in need sup-
plied it with provisions. Some of tho Concessionaries also
sent part of their people up this river, and tho advanta-
ges they found thoro for settling permanently, made all
who had tho general good at heart, rogret that tho other
Concessionaries wore prevented from adopting tho same
course. Tho uneasiness at first entertained in regard to
tho English had vanished ; all tho tribes boi'doriug on tho
Micissipi lived on very good terms with us, and the only
means of arming ourselves against tho intngues of tho
former and tho inconstancy of the latter, was to fortify
and people tho colony.*

St. Joseph's Spaniards had abandoned this post eighteen years before ;
but the Governor of Pcnsacola was no sooner informed of
this enterprise, than he wrote to Bienville that St. Jo-
seph's Bay belonged to the Catholic King." It was not

Rbandoued. -worth a contest with that crown, and Mi do Chateaugu^,
who had taken possession of it, did not doubt for a mo-
ment that it would soon have to be abandoned, as in fact
it was the next year. The reasons which brought Mr. de
Bienville and the Company to this were : 1st, That the
lK)st is useless, not only on account of its great distance
and want of secuiity for ships there, but chiefly on ac-
count of the impossibility of defending the entrance,
which is more than a good league in width, iiud, xhat
it is extremely inconvenient, both in regard to the diffi-
culty of landing reinforcements, for you ha\ o to wait for
the proper moment, which frequently will not occur for a
week, or even a fortnight ; and on account of the sterility
of the soil, which for more than four leagues around is
nothing but bare sand, and on account of the insalubrity
of the air, which in all that coiintry is very unhealthy, all
our soldiers having been very sick there. This occa-
sioned many desertions, which there was no way to pre-
vent. 3rd, That the vessels are not sheltered there from
any wind, and the water to be found there is very bad.

Spain, and showed the orders ho had received to take
Pousacola. The bay which bears that name was, accord-
ing to the Spaniards, first discovered by Pamphilo de
Narvaez," who landed there in his unhappy Florida expe-
dition.' Subsequently, Diego do Maldouado, one of Her-
nando de Soto's captains, rediscovered it and gave it the
name of Port of Anchusi.* In 1558, Don Tristan do
Luua named it Saint Mary's Bay,^ and in 1C93, Don An-
dres de Pes, General of the Barlovento fleet, having gone
to explore it, added to the last name that of Galve, in
honor of the Count of Galve, then Viceroy of Mexico."
Accordingly among Spaniards, the bay is known only un-
der the name of Santa Maria de Galve. And the name of
Pensacola, that of the native inhabitants of the spot, who
have been destroyed by other Indians, is retained by the
province, to which the Spaniards assign a very great
extent.'

'7I9- this state in 1719, when Mr. de Serigny laid siego to it ;
the Western Company having seized the opportunity of
the rupture between the two crowns to obtain the only
port there is in all the northern coast of Floridu., from the
Bahama Channel to the Micissipi. De Serigny began
by convening a great council of war, the decision of
which was, that Messrs. de Bienville and de Chateau-
guo, his brothers, should summon to Maubilo all the In-
dian aUies, all the French settlers, voyageurs and con-
cessionaries, and load them overland to Pensacola, while
the three vessels," after taking on board a hundi'od and
fifty soldiers, should enter the bay. All this was carried
out with great secrecy and diligence.

On the 14th of May, at ten o'clock in the morning,
Mr. de Seriguy entered the bay: Don Juan Pedro de
Matamoros,' Governor of Fort San Carlos, who was not
in a condition to resist, had just sent to Don Gregovio de
Salinas, Governor of St. Joseph, to ask him for assist-
ance ; but ho had no time to receive it. Serigny began
by opening a brisk fire, and, although it lasted five hours,
the Spaniards protend to have liad only one man killed.'
The fire having ceased, the Governor sent an infantry cap-
tai'i to know from the French commandant, the cause of
so unforeseen a hostility. De Serigny sent this officer
back with a French captain, who informed Don Juan
that war had been declared and published in Franco cu
the 14th of January, and summoned him to siu'rendcr the
place. The Governor, by the advice of his council, asked
till next day to answer, and he obtained the delay ; but
then reflecting that with the hundred and sixty men

whom ho had, with no hope of rocoiving in season the re-
inforcements he had solicited, it was impossible to resist
six hundred men who attacked him by sea, and seven
hundred who were coming by land, he deemed it prudent
to try and obtain favorabl terms, rather than risk the
consequence of a useless resistance. Henco, the same
day, before the expiration of the term granted him, he ca-
pitulated on the following conditions :

1st, That two vessels should bo furnished him, provi-
sioned to go to Havana. 2nd, That the Spaniards
should take with them neither arms nor munitions of war.
3rd, That all hostilities should cease for a week after the
departure of the garrison, and in case of their putting
back, for a week more.'

As soon as this capitulation was signed by the two
commandants, the garrison on the 15th marched forth and
encamped outside. Mr. de Chateaugud entered with
three hundred men, and began by making an inventory of
all ho found there. On the 18th of June, the Governor
of Pensacola sailed for Havana with four hundred Span-
iards on the Comto de Toulouse and the Marechal
Villars, commanded by Mr. Muchin and the Cliovalior
do Grieu." These two ships were attacked ofif the coast
of Cuba by English privateers, who, not perceiving
the superiority of their antagonists until they were so
engaged that they could not easily escape, sent to
apologize to the commandants for mistaking them for
Siiauiards." This might be ; but it is well known that
such mistakes are so common with the English, that we
would be justified in not always overlooking them.

Meanwhile, Don Gregorio Guago, the commander at
Havana, had just sent out a fleet under Don Alplionso
Carrascosa de la Torre, to expel the English from Fort

the wind suddenly falling, they took heart from the fact
that as they carried the Governor and garrison of Pensa-
cola, the capitulation of that place should serve as a safe
conduct. The memoir which I found on this affair in
the Depot de la Marine, says that the Spanish comman-
dant demanded that the French should restore to him all
those of his nation who were on their ships ; that they re-
fused, and that on this refusal, the fleet turned towards
Havana and obliged them to enter the port with it,
tJiough they did not wish to go in. The Spanish histo-
rian avers, on the contrary, that Carrascosa put a guard
on board the two French fiigates, and entered Havana with
his fleet and the two prizes to receive his general's orders.'

part in this expedition. Ho retained the two frigates to

Viceroy of Mexico, a light barque, to beg him to order Don
Francisco Cornejo, commandant of the Barlovento Fleet,
who was then at Vera Cruz, to proceed to join Carrasco-
sa at Pensacola as soon as he heard of that command-
ant's arrival in Florida. The Viceroy had anticipated
him : informed of the capture of Pensacola by the Gov-
ernor of Saint Joseph, and warned by a Franciscan
Father, who was in that place when it surrendered to de
Serigny, that the French had undertaken its capture only
with the \iew of penetrating to New Mexico, he had at
once dispatched couriers to all the ports of New Spain,
with orders to all vessels and mariners whom they met, to
proceed to Vera Cruz. He had at the same time made a
levy of men on all sides, and had no embarrassment ex-
cept to find shipping enough to embark all this force,
when Don Francisco Cornejo entered the port of Vera
Cruz with five men-of-war of the Barlovento Fleet, The
Viceroy ordered him to prepare to sail to Pensacola, but
as Cornejo was on the point of starting, the Viceroy sent
him a countermand, to defer his departure till he had
given him a reinforcement.

Meanwhile, the change in the destination of the Hava-
na fleet had not been to the taste of all who had em-
barked in it, and more than four hundred deserted before
it sailed out of port. This mishap did not disconcert the
Governor; he trusted that the valor of those who re-
mained faithful to him would make up for numbers, and
contented himself with embarking sixty grenadiers of hia
garrison in place of the deserters. On the 29th of Juno,
Don Alphonso Carrascosa set sail, having in all only
eight hundred and fifty men, including regulars, volun-
teers and marines on twelve vessels, three frigates, and
nine bilanders. As soon as he was in sight of Saint Jo-
seph, he sent Lieutenant-Colonel Don Bruno de Cavalle-
ro to the Governor of the fort, Don Gregorio de Salinas,
to learn from him the actual situation of the French at
Pensacola. The Governor repUed that two deserters from

mado no repairs there, nor even collected material for the
purpose; that Santa Bosa Island and Point Sigucn^a
were abandoned, and that the French commandant, h©
had no doubt, would be obliged to surrender at the first
summons.

On this report, Carrascosa ran up to within half a
league of Pensacola Bay,' and anchoring during tho
night, sent off a dotaohmont of a hundred men, who, with-
out meeting any resistance, took possession of Point Si-
guenga, which is the western extremity of Santa Rosa
Island. Fifty soldiers of the garrison of Pensacola im-
mediately came in and surrendered," assuring thorn that
they had only to show themselves, to become masters of
the fort; that all the French who were shut up thoro
were good servants of the King of Spain, and would
open the gates as soon as they appeared. This gan'ison
had been very badly selected ; it was composed entirely
of deserters, salt smugglers, forced emigrants to Louisia-
na and other like rubbish, w.aom it was imprudent to col-
lect in too large a body. The Spanish commander him-
self also entered tho bay in a sloop, to inspect tho real state
of affairs. He saw two frigates, and had perfect leisure
to examine them ; reconnoitred the fort at his ease, as tho
cannon fired at him did not reach. Eeturniug to Point
Siguon9a, he ordered all the bilandors to enter the port,
and as soon as they came to anchor, they oiDoned a can-
nonade ou the frigates and fort. The two frigates replied
briskly, but this did not prevent one of them being
boarded and taken. The crew of tlie other set fire to it
and retired within the fort, which was at once invested by
all the bilandcrs.

of war, with all his garrison, declaring that if ho waited
till his batteries were planted, ho would give quarter to

this was granted; but tho Spanish commandant occu-
pied with strong detachments all tho passes by which the
Indians could come to tho reUei of the French. Clia-
teaugue was bent on resisting to tho last extremity, but
his soldiers all unanimously declaring that they would not
fight against tho Simniards, ho was forced to surrender,
and at the hour designated, he obtained these terms :
That he should march out of his fort with all tho honors
of war, and be conveyed to Spain. Then almost all tho
French enlisted in the Spanish troops, <. xcept some who
■were thrown into tho holds of vessels, tied hand and
foot. The Governor, his lieutenant, the Director of tho
Company and all the officer.,, were paroled, while the ves-
sel was fitting out to convey them to Havana.' That
same day Carrascosa took possession of the fort, which
he found well supplied with luuuitious and merchandise :
he restored Don Juan Pedro Matamoros as Governor,
and left there a sufficient garrison.'

On tho 25th of August ho dispatched Captain Don
Francisco Mendez to the Viceroy of New Spain, to boar
tidings of the success of his enterprise, and that officer
found Don Francisco Cornejo still at Vera Cruz with his
squadron. The Marquis de Valero, charmed to learn
that Pensacola had returned to the rulo of his royal mas-
ter, at once ordered Cornejo to set sail and to add to his
squadron the ships just arrived from Havana under the
command of Don Francisco Guerrero, in order to expel
the French entirely from tho Gulf of Mexico. Carrasco-

Antonio fulfilled bis task very well. Ho found tbe Pbi-

supported by four good batteries.*

Ho visited tbo wbolo coast, altbougb under fire from all

Mr. do Vibnville, sent by do Bienville to do Serigny witb
a reinforcement of French and Indians, discovered tbem.
He first detached fifteen Indians, who cut off their route ;
others proceeded to bide flat on the ground, at a place
which they would have to pass in their flight ; these did
not show themselves till the enemy was within gun-shot,
when with a yell they began the figlit. The enemy, taken
between two fires, made but a feeble resistance. Fifteen

great uiauy Indians hud lluckod to him from arovind Mau-
bilo ; Mr. do Siiiut Douya brought iu all tho Biloxi lu-
diaiis, and tho Coucossious sout him ovory man ablo
to bear arms. Thus Ilorroa soon percoivod that it would
not bo oasy to succeed in his enterprise. As soon as lie
joined Mondiota, ho learned from that oilicor that tho
isliiud was ihdly hlling up with French and Indians, all
well armed, and a lauding was nowhere practicable.

ITo nevertheless attempted a descent on tho littlo Islo
(iuill'jiy, which is almost connected with Daupliin Island;
but this detachment found Canailiaus and Iti.lians there,
who repulsed them, killing more than thirty men.' Two
days after, tho commandant having embarked on tho
Mart'clial do Villans, and hoisted tho groat royal stand-
ard of Spain, appeared with another ship, a groat llibus-
tier boat, carrying ton guns, and with seven sloops. Ho
appioachotl Dauphin Island, and tho next day tho two
ships anchored witlun gun-shot ' the Philippe. Tho
sloops, which wore all filled with ,oldiers, and tho great
boat at the same timo, entered tho port, as if with tho de-
sign of cannonading tho town, and under favor of their
gunt), effecting a lauding ; but they found all tho French
and Indians in such an attitude, *hat thoy durst not attempt
an}ihing. They renewed tho sanio maneeuvre for four-
teen da_)s in succession, sometimes at ouo place, and
aouietimes at another, and were everywhere forced to draw
')ff without doing anytJiing. Yet there were on tho whole
island only two hundred Indians, and fewer Canadians
and volunteers, on whom Mr. do Sorigny could depend.
The soldiers, to the number of eighty men, were of the
same stamp as those who had deserted at Pensacola, and
he had to distrust them as much as he did the enemy.

What most incommoded tho Spaniards, was the cannon
of the Philippe, which was anchored within pistol-shot of
tho land, and a barbette battery, which de Sorigny had

from upproftchiug ULiir onongh to tho shore to favor thoir ' ~'~ ^ ""
lauding. At last, on tho 2()th, thoy weighed anchor and
Hailed back to PcuBacola. Tho extent of thoir loss could
not bo i)reciKely ascertained, but thoro was every reason
to deem it considerable. Thoir greatest error was tlioir
luck of persistence, for Lad t!'< y continued to blf)ckado
Dau[)]iin Island for never so short a time, tlioy would
infallibly have taken it. The besieged had been sleeping
on tho sand for throe weeks, and could scarcely stand any
longer ; most of them were actually sick.'

During this time tho general had not been idle or free JJ',X
from trouble. lie had wisely deemed it necessary to A'cusacolo.
build a fort at the point of Santa Ivosa Island, to defend
tho ontrauco to the harbor ; and on this ho employed all
the nogi'oes ho had succeeded in taking from tho French.
What most retarded tliese works was tlio frequent alarms
given to Fort St. Charles by the Indians ; and when tho
Governor wished to make sorties upon them, these In-
dians leaped, says tho Spanish historian, like goats on
tho mountaui top, where it was impossible co follow them.
This, with tho first information which Carrascosa received
from Don Estevan Berroa, as to tho impossibility of tak-
ii:g the Philippe and landing on Dauphin Island, finally
convinced him that ho required a larger force to put an
end to this war. A brigautiue detaclK;d from Vera Cruz
had assured him that tho great reinforcement promised
him would soon arrive ; ho expected provisions from Ha-
vana ; the fort at Point Siguemja was almost finished, as
well as a fifteen gun battery that was to command tho on-
trauco of tho harbor; they were diligently laboring to
make Fort St. Charles proof against any insult; but
hunger began already to be sensibly felt, and sickness be-
gan to spread.

The hope of receiving the supplies, announced as very
near at hand, for a time sustained the troops, but as the

just provinions enough to carry them to Havana.

Tho general waa so fortunate as to siicccod in (luelliug
this incipient nuitiny, but ho was soon after uotifiod that
five sail had been soon near Dauphin Island ; that tho
captain of a bilauder had sent his longboat to reconnoi-
tre* them, and that this boat, having gone too near, had
boon detained.' Thoro was then no doubt that thoy woro
French ships, and this opinion was coutirmed by the fact
that for three dayb past not a band of Indians had been
Boen near Pousacola. This led to tho conclusion that
those savages had joined tho French troops to invest tho
fort by land, while tho shii)S attacked by sea. Tho Gov-
ernor of San Carlos, tho first to receive this tidings,
thought it tho best expedient to burn tho fort to prevent
the French from establishing thomselvos there, and to
carry to tho fort on Siguenr;a Pcnut all his artillery and
munitions. But as ho was almost alono in this opinion,
ho bado tho gouoral do what ho deemed best for tho

fear of the Indians. Ou tho tenth, some Apalaches, also
reti'.ruing from a scout, brought in a Spaniard, but he
was a galloj' slave, from whom no information could bo
obtained. Finally, on the twelfth, de Bienville came
aboard the flagship with a troop of Canadians, to receive
Mr. do Champmelin's last orders, and on tho night be-
tween the thirteenth and fourteenth,' the general sig-
nalled to weigh anchor with three King's ships, two of
the Company's frigates, tho Union and Philippe, and a
Bmall bark to aid in lauding, in case of need.

Tho Western Company had recently sent to Louysiana
two hundred iind fifty men of the late levies ; these were
distributed among tho King's vessels. Bienville's orders
were to proceed by sloop to llio Perdido v/ith the sol-
diers and volunteers to join tho Indians wlioai tho Chevalier
do Longuevillo' was to bring tliitlier, and whom he in fact
found there. Bienville then detached a body of French
and Indians to harass tho garrison of Peusacola, and
prevent any 0110 from leaving tho fort. This was punctu-

Mr. do Champmelin still hesitated to risk the Iviug's

on the cable would have required a starboard ta. t:, that
is, turning to the right, the fire became very warm on
both sides and lasted two hours. The Spanish historian
counts six hours' combat, including, apparently, all the
time that his nation's ships were tiring on ours ; he adds
that the Indians and Canadiaus kci)t tiring all night on
Tuit San Carlos ; that the tire at the entrance of the port
was kept up till the fort at the point was entirely demol-
ished, and only two frigates in fighting condition, and
that which bore the Spanish geueral sinking ; that then
Mr. do Champmcliu, touched to see so many brave men
perish, sent to tell Don Alphonso Carrascosa to surren-
der, which he did. Don Druno also suirendored with the
remnant of the garrison of the fort on the point.'
Fort This done, the French general sent to summon the

t;ikcn, with rrovcmor of Pousacola to surrender as a prisoner of war
' pnsoi'iLTs" with all his garrison, in default w hereof, there should be
^ "'"■ no quarter for any one. Ilatamoros said that he would
answer in two days. Mr. de Bienville, who had five hun-
dred Indians and a hundred and fifty Cauadiajis, had
alrtjtuly refused to make terms with him, and he felt that
if Mr. de Champmelin allowed Bienville to storm the
place, as he threatened through Mr. do Lille, his first
lieutenant, ho could never hold out, yet ho allowed de
Lille to depart without a reply ; but his ofiicers, to whom
he imparted the summons, forced him to recall that ofiicer.
He told him that he surrendered, and lowered his tiag.
Mr. de Champmelin showed great courtesy to all the offi-
cers, and told them that he had never yet seen so gallant
a defence ; it was indeed conducted with great ardor and

The next day Mr. de Champmeliu sent his long boat with
one of his officers and an officer of the Spanish general,
to order the commanders of the bilanders, wliich had run
ashore at the head of the bay, to bring them back to the
port ; but only French prisoners were found on board,
the Spaniards having escaped to St. Joseph,' as a brigan-
tinc 1 periagua did at the commencement of the action.
The same day the Spanish garrison marched out of Fort
San Carlos, and the officers, disarmed, were sent on the
ships ; but they were allowed to retain their clothing and
all private property. Mr. do Champmeliu chose to have
in his vessel, the general, the Governor of Pensacola,
Don Bruno Cavallero, Don Estevan Bcrroa, and Don
Antonio Joseph Martinez." But as the number of other
prisoners, whom Bienville estimates at tit'teen hundred,
and Mr. de Sorigny at twelve hundred, greatly embar-
rassed the squadron and would have famished it ; six
hundred were sent to Havana on the St. Louis. No one

wounded, yet only sixty in all were found, and on our side
there were only six or seven.'

Early in the morning of the 24tli, a brigautine was per-
ceived, which, without mistrusting, entered the port ; it
was commanded by Andrew Gonzales, bringing from H;i-
vaua the provisions so long expected at Pensacola. Mr.
Chami)mehu seized it and found wherewith to relieve all ''"'' "i"'-
his men, who needed it extremely. Gonzales was also
bearer of several letters, of which the general delivered
only such as he deemed proper. By the same channel,
Mr. do Bienville received one from Mr. de Chateauguo,
wlio informed him that the Governor of Havana refused
to furnish provisions to him, as well as to the officers and

1 71 9- sailors who wore prisoQera with him, and that tho latter
were forced to carry stoue or nlist iu Spanish ships, to
have wherewith to sustain life.' Mr. do Champmeliu bit-
terly reproached tho Spanish General and officers with
this ; but he did not think it right to take any other ven-
geance than by treating kindly all thi) prisoners of their
nation in his hands. He nevertheless thoiight it his duty
to write to the Governor of Havana ; ho then sentenced
the French taken arms iu hand against the King; tho
most guilty Avere hanged, tho rest condemned to tho galleys.'
The only question left was whether tho fort at Pensa-
cola should be preserved. There was no lack of soldiers
to garrison it, but most of them were wretches who had
deserted from the army in Franco, or taken by force ; and
past experience showed how little dependence could be
placed on their tidelity. It was iherefore resolved to de-
molish two bastions on tho land side, preserving only tho
two facing the port, and to leave there an officer, two ser-
geants, twenty soldiei"S and twelve Indians.' On tho
third of October, the frigate Duke do NoaiUes arrived at
Pensacola and delivered to the Count do Champmeliu
letters, by which he was ordered to winter with his squad-
ron in Louysiaua, inasmuch as information had reached
the Court of France that a strong squadron had left
Spaiu for the Gulf of Mexico ; but the condition in which
his ships and crews were, reudei'ed this order imi)racticable.
On the eleventh a Spaniard, solo survivor of the ere v
of a storcship of twenty-four guns, intended to revictuaJ
St. Joseph's Bay, stated that ho had sailed from Vera
Cruz sixteen days previously ; that he had left there live
men-of-war, carrying each from fifty to seventy guns ; two
frigates and three bilanders, witli a great number of laud
troops, Avho were prepaang to come aud seize all the

13tli, at throo o'clock in tlio afternoon, a slii'p hove iu
sight, and at the same timo they brought to tlie general
another Si)aniar(l, who had been found on 8anta Rosa
Island-. This man told him that ho had oomo from Vera
Cruz iu the ship then in sight ; that ho and two others
had been sent ashore in the boat, which had been lost;
that his comrades wore drowned, and that ho had es-
caped by swimming. Soon after, the ship firod three
guns, as if to recall the boat, and the longboat was seen
putting oil". It lauded at Point Sigucn^a, with casks to
take in water. It was captured, and those in it said that
they had sailed from Vc::;, Cruz thirty-five days before,
and that their ship was loaded with stores, and a rein-
forcement of a hundred men for Pensacola ; that the
northeast wind had detained them at Dauphin Island,
and that they had endeavored to take in water theie, but
had been prevented.

The next morning the ship, Avhich had anchored outside
the bay, fired a gun to recall its lougl )oat, but as it did not
return, she lay to where she was till eleven o'clock. But
then a violent southeast wind forced her to outer and an-
chor. The Count de Champmeliu hoisted his fiag. This
ship was commanded by Dou Francisco de la Peua, one
of the captains of the Barlovonto Fleet. As soon as he
saw the French Hag he lowered his, and the general sent
to demand the letters which ho had from the Viceroy.'
Ho gave them and they coufirmed all that was already
known of the designs of the Sjoauiards. This informa-
tion did not alter at all the resolution to depart which ^Iv.
de Champmelin had formed, as sickness was increasing
iu his ships. The Mars, however, had or^' -rs to remain
till its crew recovered from the pestilence, wnich had not
left the sliip from the timo of its arrival iu America.
The Marechal de Villars and the Comte de Toulouse
wore not iu a seaworthy couditiou, and were also obliged
to remain.

HISTORY OF NEW FRANCE.

Those arrangoments made, Mi', do Champmolin's next
tlioiight was to reward the Indians for the zeal tbey had
diKplayod for tlie French nation since the commencement
of this war. Mr. do Saint Denys, who was greatly be-
loved by these tribes, received oi'dors to assemble them,
and ho made them chant the calumet in honor of the gen-
eral, who attended with all his officers. He then ad-
dressed them in the general's name, exhorting them to re-
main ever attached to the French, whoso superiority over
their enemy they had just witnessed. "When he had end-
ed his address, presents were distributed to all in the King's
name, and they were sent off highly pleased.

On the 21st,' as the squadron was about to sot sail, a
bilander was seen endeavoring to enter tho bay, wind
astern. It was seized, and tho captain declared that ho
had cleared from Vera Cruz eighteen days before in com-
pany with a 44 gun ship, and three others of thirty,
eighteen and twelve guns, aud another bilander ; that
three ten gun ships had remained in port, the pestilence
having broken out among the crews ; that General Cor-
nejo in person was in the largest ship ; that it was his de-
sign to join the Governor of Peusacola, to aid him in
conquering all that was still left to the French in Louysi-
aua, and that lio supposed Dauphin Island aud Fort
M.iubilo alioady iu tho power of his Catholic majesty ;
that moreover, a gale having separated his bilander from
the squadron throe days after its departure from Vera
Cruz, he did not know what had become of it.

This news decided Mr. do Champmelin to remain some
days longer at Pensacola, awaiting the Spanish squad-
ron, but as it did not appear, he hoisted sail and started
for Franco again." It is probable that Cornejo, having
learned by the way the capture of Pensacola, and the

presence of the French fleet there still, diil not deem it
l)rucleut to engage a squadron much stronger thiiu his
own. Be that as it may, de Champmclin had scarcely
sailed when the Chevalier de Saujou arrived in Louysia-
na with a new squadron,' and his presence contributed in
no slight degree to prevent anything being undertaken by
the Spaniards. Ho then wished to go to St. Joseph's
Bay and captui-e that post ; but this was not the opinion
of Mr. de Bienville, who had taken possession of it tho
year before, and soon after abandoned it on account of its
uselessness and the difficulties of defending it, or ap-
proaching it, or sheltering vessels there, and especially on
account of the sterility of the country, which is adapted
to no natural products. Mr. de Serigny, too, remarked
that the famine which threatened the colony would pre-
vent any delay in the departure of tho Compan} 's ships,
which it was intended to use on this expedition, and on
which he saw himself compelled to send back many of tho
people to France. Mr. de Saujon did not insist, and as
there was no longer anything to detain him in America,
ho sailed for France."

De Serigny followed soon after: he set sail June 27,
1720,' and on reaching Brest he learned that the King
had appointed him captain of ships of tho line ; a re-
ward well merited by his valor, his good conduct, and tho ''of "'"'
zeal with which ho had served his prince from childhood ; ,uut '•.'iHvni
having never been promoted to any rank in the navy till "'vcs'suuf'^

bo had distiuguishod himself by some signal action or in
somo important service. Tlirco days after hifi departure,
two of tlio King's vessels, the Toulouse and the Huniy,
■vvhicli liad sailed from Toulon under the command of
Messrs. do Valetto ' and do Cafaro, arrived in wretched
plight at tho roadstead off Dauphin Island. Tiio Jesuit
Fiit^'^ Laval, royal professor of hydrography at tho port
of Luuion, was on board, having come to make observa-
ii'.K.'i I- Louysiana, and especially to fix tho longitude of
llsv. .-L.oi.i-h of the Micissipi ;' but tho pestilouco having
broken Oi i both vessels, Mr. de Cafaro died on tho
voyage ;' tho chaplains were not able to attend tho sick,
who wore very numerous ; accordingly, that religious, fool-
ing that science is only an accessory to a man of his pro-
fession, thought tho duty of his ministry paramount to
any good to bo expected from his astronomical obso^'va-
tions : he did not go to the Micissipi, although ho was
only fourteen leagues distant from it : he did not leavo
the crows, employing in his observations only tho mo-
ments he stole from sleep. This conduct elicited high
praise from tho prince who presided in the Navy Council.*
Meanwhile, tho Fort of tho Natchitoches was always
maintained, and some detachments of concessions had ad-
vanced in that direction, in hopes of acquiring wealth by
trade with the Spaniards, a chimerical hope, which pre-
vented their adopting surer methods of making a solid
settlement elsewhere, and which finally ruined them. To-
wards the close of this year de Bienville received orders
fi'om court to send back Mr. do Saint Denys,' whom the

ChaiupiucUu had rondorod iu his favf^i iu tho Couucil of
tho Navy. Ho sot out at tho comncucoiuoiit of tho fol-
lowing year with a reiuforeoiuout of tro()i)s and munitions,
and his wifo soon joined him thoro. Mr. do Cluitoauguo,
who had proceeded from Havana to Franco, also re-
turned at tho same time, with the rank of King's Lieu-
tenant, and resumed command of Fort Saint Louis at
Maubilo. Finally, do Bienville again established tho
hofulciuarters of Louysiana at JJiloxi, and lixed ' 's resi-
dence there, with tho greater part of tho trooj. am ''lo
Directors of tho Company, of which he was th" pre,? g
ollicor.

No further fears wore entortaiuod of tho ^\' . ia. '.s, be-
cause from tho preceding year while Mr. d(- V;i i,te was
still at Dauphin Island, positive inform.i' ^n had como
that two Spanish ships of sixty-six and six. -. .on gun.s,
commanded by two commodores, and which were to join
the Vera Cruz ileet to sui-priso Pensacola, had I'ecoiveJ
counter orders at Havana, and that this change was
caused by a suspension of hostilities between tho two
crowns. The court of Madrid feeling, no doubt, that tho
restitution of Pensacola would be ouo of tho articles of
the treaty of peace then negotiating, thought it needless
to incur useless expense, and the result was as she had
foreseen,'

It was a favorable oi)poi*tunity to establish tho ccmce.s-
sions, who did not cease to arrive from Franco, and who,
well managed, would in a few years have peopled boili
banks of tho Micissipi up to the Illinois; but the solo
aim of tho Directors of the Comiuiny was to get near tlio
S]iauinrds, and prevent tliciv settling in our vicinity.

damugtid, aud fouud themselves high ashore on the bank of
the river, which had risen eight feoi. In tho sottlemeuts
above and below the city there was not a building stand-
ing. Biloxi suffered even more ; all the houses and
stores were overthrown, aud as tho sea overflowed its '
bounds, a part of that ])ost was inundated. Tlio coasters
which were in the roadstead were driven on tho islands, or
on tho mainland. There was oven one, the captain of
which alone escaped with a cabin boy, having spent twen-
ty-four hours on f ho yard-arm ; tho rest of the crew wore
drowned. Several periaguas, coming down to New Or-
leans loaded with provisions aud poultry, were wrecked.
The vegetables that were mature wero destroyed, aud tho
continual rains which came on spoiled a good part of
Avliat was still green.'

Meanwliile, the war with the Chicachas (Chickasaws)
still continued, although i' was coniined to some sur-
prises,' whicli compelled travellers to proceed with cau-
tion. These Indians even themselves were the first to
grow weary of it at a time when they might have given us
great trouble. Two Canadians, father and son, having
falltm into their hands, were well treated by them, aud the
chiefs begged them to write to de Bienville that if he
would restore them to favor, they would releast; the priso-
ners at once. Tiiey did more, they proceeded to the
JSieur de (Irave, commandant at the Yazoos, presented
the calumet to him, aud solicited peace, which he did not
deem it wise to refuse.

But the colony, tliougli roliovcd as far as this tribo was
coucerued, not ouly the bravest iu all Loiiysiaua, but also
the most to bo feared in consequcuco of its rulatious with
the English, soon saw that it could depend on the
fidelity of the Natchez only so long as they kept on their
guard against that naturally treacherous nation. In fact,
these savages no sooner perceived that the French, en-
gaged in othe) affairs, paid less attention to their doings,
than they renewed their outrages, and displayed all their
ill will, of which it will bo soon seen the authorities were
not sufficiently on their guard.

At the same time sad tidings camo from tlie Illinois.
Mr. de Boisbriaud, warue'.' that the (Illinoisj of the Eock
and of Pimiteouy were besieged by the Foxes, had em-
barked with tiie Chevalier d'Artaguette and the Sieur du
Tisuo, both captains, several other officers and a detach-
ment of a hundred men, to hasten to their deliverance,
and had ordered forty Frenchmen and four hundred In-
dians to march by land to Pimiteouy and await him there ;
but when each division had got about half way, they
learned that the Foxes had retreated with a loss of uioro
than a hundred and twenty of their men. Tius success
did not, however, prevent the Illinois, although they liad
lost ouly about twenty men, ^vith some women and chil-
dren, from leaving the Ilock and Pimiteouy, whore they
were kept in <;onstant alarm, and proceeding to unite with
tJ'oso of their brethren who had settled on the Micissipi ;
this was a stroke of grace for most of them, the small
number of mis.sionaries provijutiug their suii})Iying so
many towns, scu.'tcred fav apart; but on the other side, as
there was nothing' to check the raids of tho Foxes along
the Illinois River, communication between Louysiana
and New France became much less practicabhv

SoiuD time after they received a very severe check from
tho Sieur de 8aint Angt>, the officer at Fort t'hartres iu
the Illinois, who, having drawn a largo body of them into
a kind of ambuscade, cut tiiem almost all to pieces ; other

^-"'^C'-^ ijuiiiicated it so fully !o tlio now onoinics they raised up
ngaiust us, that the whole course aud neigliborhood of
the Micissipi Avas infested witli Indians with whom wo
Lad never had an^- diiliculty, and who gave no quarter to
any French wliom they could well surprise or attack.
Several Natchez came out openly against \is,' and what
Tiic Nat- most embarrassed do Bienville was the fact that the
poa'ir Willi brother of the Great Chief was at their head. To nialco
'■ a lasting arrangement with this nation, it would have
betm necessary to have this man, who was the author of
all the evil, given up to the Governor by his own brother,
and there was no way to drive the latter to it. The wis-
dom and firmness of the Sieur Delietto, who commanded
at that ])ost, extricated do Biouvillo from this difHculty.
That commandadt so adi'oitly worked on the mind of tho
Great Chief, as to bring him to resolve to go in jierson
and put his brother at tho discretion of the general, who,
on his side, generously pardoned an humbled enemy and
gained him. Groat marks of confideuce were given ou
both sides, and this good understanding would to all ap-
pearance have been L arable, had Mr. Delietto lived lon-
ger. He was already dead when I reached Natchez at
the close of the year 1722, and the good understanding, it
seemed to me, was still p(!rfect betwcieu tho French and
Indians. A little more disti'ust and precaution ou the
side of the former, would undoubtedly have deprived the
latter of tlie very thouglit of regarding them dilferently,
and prevented the evils of which we shall soon spuak.

was to gain thorn to Christ. Nor could it moreover be
iiuknown that even indopontlont of the fruit which the
evangelical laborers might produce among them, the mere
presence of a man, venerable by his office, understanding
their language, able to obseiTO their conduct, and able by
gaining the confidence of some to learn their designs, is
often better than a garrison, or may at least supply its
place, and give the governors time to take steps to defeat
thoii- plots. The example of the Illinois, who had since
1717 been incorporated with the government of Louysia-
na, was sufficient to show how important it was not to
leave the other nations any longer without missic naries.'

The India Company saw this, and in the year 1725
applied to the Jesuits, a great number of whom offered
themselves for this new mission. But as the Supe-
riors could not grant permission to all to devote them-
selves to it, and there were not enough to give some to all
the tribes, the commandant and directors thought best to
place the first who anived in positions where there M'cro
no Capuchins, whence it happened that the Natchez, the
very people whom it wa^ most important to enlighten,
had none, and the fault thus committed was not perceived
till it was irreparable."

Provision was at the same time made for the education
of the young French girls at the capital and its vicinity,
by bringing over Ursulincs from France ; and to avoid

too stroug ovidenco to disprove tlieao iusultiug suspicious,
iu au uvout which soou changed tho minds of thoso wlioso
advice had boon taken rather than liis. In tlio letter just
mentioned, and written from New Orleans, he says : " I
Lave not been astouislicd that tli3 Company lias boon as-
sured that troops are not ueedod iu Louysiaua, or pres-
ents for tho Indians, to retain them as our allies ; novcr-
theloss, I have soon the men who maintained this absurd-
ity, trembling to tho very marrow of their bones, although
there is less to be feared here than elsewhere."

In another letter, dated April 1st, in tho same year, he
adds one thing, which shows that ho knew the Indians
bettor than thoso who boasted most of their knowledge of
them. Speaking of these ludiaus, lie says : " Wo are sure
of retaining their good will as long as we givo them what
they wish ; but as they feel that we need them, they mul-
tiply their wants iu such a way that the Euglish and our-
selves are tho dup(!S of these savages, who are much less
so than we." What he proceeds to say, that wo shall not
make them what they ought to bo, till after wo have thor-
oughly defeated them, is not, however, true, except when
they have given grouacls for so treating tliom ; for nothing
embitters them more thau to make war ou them without
cause ; but there are other means of controlling them.
Mr, Perrier was not ignorant of them ; and in fact re-
marks very justly in his proviou.- letter, that the war in
which he was engaged had convinced him that to escape
the importunity of tho Indians, who are always bogging,
you need only to jiretend to do without them. " It is,"
says he, " the means to make them all wisli to follow us.
Then, if they are not satisticd, we can tell them that they
were not invited. Although it is necessary to bind them
to us by presents to avoid war, you must never , • far
reckon on theu" fidelity as to think yourself safe from insult."

Canada, whoro wo have soon tho Abeuaquia and all tho
Indiana domiciliated in that colony outer zoalously and
heartily, often very disinterestedly, into all that was asked
of them, and they did not consider that Christianity
alone had brought thorn to this disposition; tho Comman-
dant-Gi>ncral, who had never known any Indians except
those wliom ho had to deal with, did not sullicioutly un-
derstand that religion, if they could bo nmdo to appreci-
ate our Holy Mysteries, would gradually correct tho
faults of which ho complained.

Bo that as it may, tlio trantjuillity enjoyed in Louysia-
ua since peace had been granted to the Natchez and
Chickasaws, was but a delusive calm which lulled the inhab-
itants, while there was gathering aroimd thorn a storm,
whoso most disastrous effects wore averted only by moro
chance, saving the country from beccjuiing in a single day
the tomb of all tho French ; but which was fatal indeed
to those on whom it burst, and who had no time to shield
themselves from it.

For several years past tho Chickasaws, at tho insti«a- Indian

conspiriicy

tion of some EngHsJi,' had formed tho design of so extir- sm^n^i the

Fronch

pating the whole colony of Louysiaua, that not a single
Frenchman should remain. They had managed their
scheme with such secrecy that the Illinois, tho Acansas
and the Tonicas, to whom they had not ventured to
impart it, aware of their tried attachment to us, had not
the shghtest suspicion. All the other tribes joined it;
each was to fall on all tho settlers marked out for it, and
all were to stidko th -) same day and tho same hour. Even
the Tchactas, (Choctaws,) the most numerous nation on
this continent, v<iud at all times our allies, had been won
over, at least those on tho east, who are called tho Great
Nation; those on tho west, or Little Nation, had taken

and had thoy been in a state of defence, they could pro-
tect from the fury of the Indians only a small number of
the nearest dwellings. Everywhere, too, men lay in per-
fect security, which would have enabled these savages to
massacre all tho French, even in tho best-guarded places.

tho nmnuer about to bo doscribocl :

riod tlioir diHsininlivtiou ho far an to persuade him that tho
French had no uioro faithful allies. Ho Avas iu fact so lit-

spread that tho Natchez woro plotting something against
us, ho put in irons seven settlors who had conio to ask his
nission to assemble and tako up arms to prevent a

coivo thirty Indians into tho fort, and as many in and
around his house. Tho others were scattered iu tho
houses of tho settlors and tho workshops of tho mechau-
icH, two or three leagues above and below their vill'-go.

Tho day sot for tho execution of tho general plot had
not yet come, but two things induced tho Natchez to an-
ticipate it. Tho first was I'o arrival just then of somo
battoaux well stocked with goods for tho garrison of that
and tho Yazoo post, as well as for several settlors, and
that tlioy wisliod to soizo tiiem before they woro dis-
tributed; tho second was, that tho comm nulant had re-
ceived a visit from tho Messrs Kolly, father and son, whose
concession was at no groat distance, and from several
other persons of cousequenco, for they saw at onco that by
pretending to get up a hunt, to furnish Mr. do Chopar
whorowith to regale his guests, thoy could all arm without
exciting any suspicion. * They made tho proposal to tho
commandant, who accepted it cheerfully, and thoy at onco
proceeded to trade with tho settlers to obtain gui' balls
and powder, which they paid for on the spoL.

HISTORY OF NEW FRANCE.

This done, early on Monday, the 28th, they scattered
through the dwellings, announcing that they were about
to start for tho hunt, careful to outnumber the French
ovorywhero. They then sang tho calumet in honor of tho
commandant and his company, after which each returned
to his post, and a moment later, at a si^al of throe mus-
kot-sliots fired successively at the door of Chepar's quar-
ters,' they began the massacre at the same time every-
where. The commandant and the KoIIys were the first
killed ; there was no resistance except at the house of Mr.
do la Loira des Ursins,' Chief Commissary of tho India
Company, where there were eight men.' They fought
well; eight Natchez were killed there, and six French-
men, the other two escaped. Mr. de la Loire had just
mounted hia horse ; at the fiidt naii^e he hoard, he endeav-
ored to return to his house, but was intercepted by a
party of Indians, against whom he held out for some time,
till he fell dead, pierced by many wounds, after killing
four Natchez. Thus these savages lost at this point
twelve mon ; but that was all their treachery cost them.*

Before executing their plot, they had made sure of
several negroes, among whom were two commanders.
These had persuaded the rest that under the Indians they
would be free ; that our women and children should be-
come their slaves, and that there was nothing to fear from
the French of tho other posts, as the massacre would bo
carried out simultaneously everywhere. It seems, how-
ever, that the secret had been confided only to a small
number, for fear of its taking wind. Be that as it moy,
two hundred men perished in this way almost in an
instant. Of all the French who were at this post, the

most populous of all, only about twenty escaped, and live 17*9-
or six negroes,' most of thorn wounded. One hundred
and fifty children, eighty women, and almost as many ne-
groes, wore taken." The Jesuit Father du Foisson and
Mr. du Codere, commandant at the Yozoos, who hap-
pened to be at the Natchez, also perished.

The former had started from his Arkansas mission for
some busmess that required his presence at Now Or-
leans. Ho arrived at the Natchez quite late on the 2Gtli,
intending to set out again the next day, ; fter saying mass.
Unfortunately for him, the Capuchin father, who exor-
cised parochial functions at that place, was absent, and
Father du Poissou was requested to sing high mass and
preach, it being the first Sunday of Advent, and ho cou-
Bented. In the afternoon, as ho was on the point of em-
barking, he was informed that there wore some sick per-
sons at the point of death ; he attended them, adminis-
tered the last sacraments to some, and deferred ouo till
next day, as his case was not so urgent, and it was
nh-oady quite late. The next day ho said mass, and then
carried the Viaticum to the sick man, to whom he had
promised it, and it was after performing this duty of char-
ity that he was oucouutorcd by a chief, who seized him
around the body, threw him to the ground, and chopped
off his head with an axe. Mr. du Codere, who happouod
to be near, had already drawn his sword to dufeud him,
when another Indian, whom he had not seen, shot him down.'

During this massacre, the Sun, or Great Cljief of the
Natchez, was calmly seated under the tobacco shed of the
India Company. The head of the commandant was first
brought to him, then those of the leading Frenchmen,

the others in heaps. Tho bodios wcro left unbm-iod, to be
devoured by tho dogs and birds of prey. Those savages
spared only two Fruuchmen, who might bo '. i some ser-
vico to them ; ono was a tailor, and the other a oarpunter.*
Thoy did not ill treat tho negro and Indian slaves who
surrendered without offering any rosi.stanco ; but thoy
rippod up tho pregnant womou, and butchered almost all
thoso who had children at the breast, because they an-
noyed them by their cries and tears. All the other women
were made slaves, and treated with the utmost indignity.

As soon as thoy were sure that thero were no more men
left in tho country, thoy began to plunder the houses, stores,
and tho boats in the port. Tho best treated of all were
tho negroes, because thoy wished to sell them to the Eng-
lish in Carolina ; and to dispel any hope tho women and
other slaves might entertain of over recovering thoii" lib-
erty, they assured them that what had just occurred be-
fore their eyes, had hapj^enod all through the colony, and
that not a single Frenchman was loft in Louysiana, where
tho Eughsh would at once come to take their place. Some
had, nevertheless, escaped to tho woods, where they suf-
fered greatly from cold and hunger. There was one who
at night ventured to come out, in order to warm himself at
a house which ho saw. As ho approached, he heard tho
voices of Indians, and deliberated whether to enter; he
made up his mind at last to do so, preferring a violent and
speedier death to the slower one which seemed inevitable
iu his actual condition. But ho was agreeably surprLsod
by tho welcome tho Indians gave liim. They were Ya-
zoos, who, after comforting him, gave him food and cover-
ing, as well as a periugua to escape to Now Orleans.
Their chief even commissiouod liim to jissuro Mr. Porrier
that ho had nothing to fear from his triljo, which would
always remain faithfully attached to the Froncli, uud that

This laau found tlio capital in great alarm ; nowa of tho tiii^ «umu
massacre had already reached it by tho first who had ca- tio'Tuzwi.
t;apod, and great foar was ontortaiuod for tho rreucli set-
tlors among tho Yazoos. On his testimony they were
somewhat relieved, but this did not lust long. On tho
11th of December, tho Jesuit Father Souel, who was
missionary to tho Tazoos, then mingled in tho samo vil-
lage with tho Corrois and Offogoulas, when rctamiug in
tho evening from visiting tho chief of tho Yazoos, re-
ceived several musket- shots as he was crossing a river,
and expired on the spot. His murderers at ouco ran to
his cabin to plunder it. Ilis negro, recently baptized, and
who lived quite piously, attempted to defend himself with
a woodcutter's knife, and even wounded an Indian, but ho
was at once pierced with thrusts.

Father Souel was much beloved by those Inchans, but Cansos of
they rebelled at his constantly reproaching them with the
infamous sin which brought destruction on Sodom, aud to
which they were gieatly addicted ; and there is every pro-
bability that this wiia tho main cause of his death ; for
although tho Yazoos and Corrois had already resolved to
exterminate all the French, tho very men who had slain
the missionary reproached themselves with his death as
Boon as their blood cooled. They however socu recov-
ered tlioir natural ferocity, and began to cry that as the
Chief of tho Prayer was dead, no Frenchman must bo
spared.

Early the next morning they proceeded to tho fort, Fid;>iityo'

"^' ■" Natchez to the Yazoos, no information had reached the
latter post of what had occurred nearly a fortnight before
in the former. Tlio Indians wore accordingly allowed to
enter the fort, and when it was least expected, they
rushed on tho French, who wore only seventeen in all;
they had not even time to attempt to defend themselves,
and not one cscapod. These savages spared tho lives
only of four women and five children, whom they mado
slaves. One of Father Souel's murderers at once put on
his cassock, and in this attire proceeded to announce to
tho Natchez tho massacre of all the French settlers on
their river.' The Corrois joined them in this expedition.
The OlTogoulas were then on a hunt; on their return
they wore strongly urged to enter the plot ; but they stea-
dily refused, and withdrew to the Tonicas, whom they
know to be of all the Indians tho most inviolably attached
to tho French.

cordially offered provisions to tho companions of tho mis-
sionary. A momont after, tho latter perceived some wild
geese flying overhead ; tho Canadians never resist tho
tolnptation of firing when they see game ; these voyageurs
had only two guns looded ; they fired both at the geese,
and as tho father was all vested to begin mass, thoy did
not think of reloaiUng.

Tho Indians noted it well, and took thoir places be
hind tho French, as if they wished to hoar the mass,
although they were not Chiistions. As tho priest was
saying tho Eyrio oleison, they fired. Father Doutreleau
feeling himself wounded in tho right arm, and seeing ono
of his men fall dead at his feet, knelt down to receive in
that posture tho death-blow, which seemed inevitablo. In
fact, tho Indians fired throe times at him, almost at tho
point of the muzzlo, but novertheless indicted no now
wound. Then, full of confidenco in Divino Providence,
whoso protection was so clearly shown, he took his chal-
ice and paten, and, attired as he was in his priestly vest-
ments, ran to tho spot whore his periagua was. His two
surviving men had already jumped in, and believing him
dead or unable to escape from tho Indians, had pulled off.

Tho missionary waded out to roach them, and as ho got
into tho poriagua, having turned his head to see whether
he was pursued, received a charge of duck-shot in tho
mouth. Most of tho shot flattened against his teeth, and
some entered his gums. Ho escaped with this, and un-
dertook to steer the periagua ; his two men, one of whom
had his leg broken by a musket-bull, rowing with all their
might. The Indians pursued them for more than au
hour, keeping up a constant fire on them ; but seeing pur-
suit useless, which surprised tho missionary still more,
thoy regained tho shore. It was afterwards ascertained
that on arriving at their town, they boasted of having
killed a Jesuit and all his boatmen.

Nor was it indeed without difficulty that they escaped,
as long as their enemies kept up tho stubborn chase ; the

the Indians, who, apparently having now neither powder
nor balls, throw themBolvos down flat in their periagua
whenever one of tho two Frenchmen aimed at them an
old mnsket, that was not oven loaded, and they ut last
disappeared. Onr party, delivered from this alarm, dressed
their wounds as well as they could, then lightened thoir
periagua by throwing overboard everything not absolutely
needed, and keeping only a little raw pork for their
subsistence.

On coming opposite Natchez, unconscious of what had
occurred there, thoy ran in towards the landing, intending
to rest there and have medical aid ; but seeing the near-
est houses burned or demolished, durst not land. Some
Indians who had discovered them, in vain invited them to
approach by making every demonstration of friendship;
they passed on as quick as they conld. Then tho Indians
fired several guns at them ; but thoy wore already out of
reach. They intended also to pass tho Bay of the Toni-
oas without stopping, but with all the exertion in thoir
power, a periagua, sent out to reconnoitre, soon over-
hauled them. Thoy gave themselves up for lost past all re-
source, till thoy heard French spoken iu the periagua.
Then thoy lay to, and they recovered entii-ely from their
fright on seeing some Frenchmen who were in the boat.

They were taken ashore, where they found troops as-
sembhng to go and punish tho Natchez. The officers
lavished their attentions on Father Doutroleau, had his
wounds dressed by the army surgeon, as well as that of
his boatman, whose leg was broken, and after giving them
rest and refreshment, they placed him and his two men
on a periagua, which they were sending to New Orleans.
He promised them to return and serve as their chaplain
as soon as his wounds were healed:' ho kept his word,
and did not even wait till his perfect recovery bofme

Mr. Porrior was informed of it on the Hocond of De-
cember.' Ho at onco dispatched tlio Siour lo Morveilleiix,
a Hwiss captain, with a detachment to warn all tho set-
tlers on both sides of tho river to bo on their guard, and
to throw up redoubts at intervals, in order to secure their
slaves and cattlo, and this was promjjtly oxooutod. Ho
then enjoined tho samo olHcor to observe closely tho small
tribes on tho rivor, and to givo arms to no Indians, ex-
cept when and to whom ho should direct. He at tho
samo time dispatched a courier to summon to him Vvo
Choctaw chiefs, who were hunting on Lake Pontchar-
train. Tho next day a poriagua from Illinois reached
Now Orleans, bringing a Choctaw, who asked to spoak to
him in private. Ho admitted him at onco, and this man
told him that ho was greatly afreotod by tho death of tho
French, and would have prevented it had ho not deemed a
falsehood what some Chickasaws had told him, namely,
that all the Indians were to destroy all tho French settle-
ments, and massacre all tho men. " What prevented mo,"
ho addod, "from crediting this story, was their stating
that my tribe was in tho plot ; but Father, if yon will
let mo go to my country, I will immediately return to ren-
der a good report of what I have done there."

Mr. Pernor had no sooner loft this Indian than others
from tho smaller tribes came to wani him to distrust tho
Chocta.vs, and ho learned almost at the same time that

portioned to its actual need. Two days after, quo of tho
two Choctaw chiefs whom ho had sent for, came to tell

iuvited all who were enemies of tho Natchez to march
ngainst them, and that he advised him not to employ tho

^73'^- como wliou quite younp; from his native Canndn to Louy-
'~ r'^ ' siana, anil liad yrowu up among these tribes, counted
enough on the fiiL-ud-iliip which all the Indians, and those
especially, liad over shown him to offer to go to them.
His offer was accepted, and he sot cut from Fort
Moubile on the uiuctoonth. With groat toil ho visited all
the villages ; ho was well received every where, and had
no greac difficulty in forming the corps of seven hundred
warriors of whom I have spoken, and whom he led
straight against the Natchez.

On his side, Perrier sent up lo the Tonicas two of tho
Companj^'s vessels. Ho sent overland warning to all tho
posts, as far as tho Illinois, of wLit had happened and
what he intended to do. He dug a ditch around Now Or-
leans ; ho placed barracks at its four angles ; ho organ-
ized militia compunies for the defence of tho city, and as
there was more to fear for tlu^ soltloments and conces-
sions than for tho capital, he threw up entrenchments
everywhere, and erected forts in *he most exposed points ;
he fiuallv prepared to go aud take command of his littlo
army wliich was assembling in tho Bay of the Tonicas.
But it was represented to him that his presence was abso-
lutely required at New Orleans ; that wo were not yet
perfectly sure of tho Choctaws, and that there was even a
fear that tho negroes, if these Indiai;.-> declared against us,
would join them in tho hope of escaj.iug from slavery, as
some had done at Natchez. Ho accordingly judged it
best to confide tho expedition to tho Chevalier de Lou-
bois, Major of New Orleans, whoso valor and experienco
ho know.'
Disposition The first effect of his preparations was to restore to our
"imUim' ^^'^^ ^^'0 small Mississippi tribes, who had aband lued it,

the course of this war. On tho other hand, tho Natchez
boemed to behold without alarm tho storm gathering

over tho Touicas, and on tho 9th of Doccmbor sent to
them tho Tioux, a littlo tribo long domiciliated among
them, to offer them some of tho plunder taken from tho
French, in order to win them over to their side. They
did not succeed in this, but killed two straggling French-
men whom they found.
On tho 10th, tho Sieur lo Merveilleux entered that bay Tho French

joined him. Ho entrenched for fear of surprise. Tho Toniciw.
following dayK all tho troops ai rived, and on tho 18th tho
Chevalier do Loubois entered it witii twouty-livo additional
soldiers.' Ho found tho whole army encamped, well en-
trenched, and in good condition. Ho had two days pre-
viously detached the Sieur Mexplox with five men to ob-
tain tidings of the enemy, and, the better to ascertain
their strength, he had ordered him to throw out somo
proposals of peace ; but as ho was on the point of land-
ing, ho received a volley of musketry, which killed three
of his men, Icaviiig him and two others prisoners. The
next day the Natchez sent ono of these latter to Mr. do
Loubois to make proposals also on their side, but they as-
sumed a haught}' tone, which revealed great confidence
and groat contempt for us.

They asked in the first place that we should give as
hostage tho Sieur Brouttin, who had commanded among
them, and the Groat Chief of the Tonicas. They thon
specified, with great detail, all tlio goods Ihoy roq!-''r3u for
tho ransom of the women, children and slaves, whom they
had in their hands ; and aithougli tiicur demandf were ex-
orbitant, they seemed to suppose that we would be only
too happy to accept them. It was afterwaiVls ascertained
that, adding treachery to insolence, iiieir design was to

the Sieur Moxplex and the soldier left with him.'
Tiio On tJio 27th, le Sueur arrived at Natchez with tho

over them. Up. Ho apparently did not yet know that our army was
at tho Bay of tho Tonicas, or was unable to control tho
selfish impetuosity of his Indians,' who wished to have
tho best part of the booty, and also profit by the prison-
erc whom they delivered, for tho sequel leads us to infer
this. Bo that as it may, they charged the eneisy do
fiercely that they killed eighty men, took sixteen women
prisoners," delivered fifty-one French wonen and child-
ren, tho two mechanics whom the Natchez had spared,
and a hundred and fifty negroes and negi-essos. They
would even have pushed their victory further, for it had
cost them only two men killed, and some wounded, Jiad
not those of our negroes, whom the Natchez had won
over, taken up arms on their side, and prevented the Choc-
taws from carrying off their powder; this would ).ave
compelled tho enemy to sun-ender or fly. Thare can be
no doubt that, had this attack been concerted with tho
Chevalier de Loubois, not a Natchd would have escaped.'

mandant so long inactive at the Tonicas.* He has been

Bonio men, whose authority should not, I think, prevail
over his. And the misfortune is, that sorao (if those who
wore loudest in condemning the manner in which tho Nat-
chez war was managed, were not more fortunate in tho
Chickasaw war, and committed nearly tho same faults
with which thoy reproached Mr. Porrier xnd those com-
manding under him, if faults they were.

Be that as it may, do Loubois on the 2nd of February Do LoniM.is
marched from the Bay of the Tonicas with two hundred thoNauhuz

men and some field-pieces ; on the 8th he arrived at the torta.
Natchez and encamped around the temple. On tho 12th
the cannon were placed in battery before one of tho two In-
dian forts, and as it was supposed that these preparations,
especially after the defeat they had received, would
induce them to submit to all exacted of them, they
were notified that they might still avoid their total
ruin by this submission ; but they were found more reso-
lute than ever to defend themselves.' Accordingly v!e
Loubois opened next morning with seven cannon ; but
thoy were two hundred and fifty fathoms from tho fort,
and they were so badly handled that, after six hours' con-
stant fire, they had not dislodged a single palisade, which
put the Choctaws in a very bad humor, as they had been
assured that a largo breach would bo made in two hours.
On the other hand, tho insolence and avidity of these In-
dians, whom nothing could satisfy, and who wasted a
part of the munitions given them, disgusted the French
commandant as much as the desperate resistance of the
Natchez.

On the 15th he again wished to try whether they had
not become more tractable ; ho sent them an interpreter

his fear he threw aside his flag. It would have fallen into
the enemy's hands, if a young soldier had not had the
courage to go and recover it, exposing himself to the tiro
of the besieged ; an exploit which on his return to
camp won his promotion to the rank of sergeant. Tiio
same day the Natchez made a sortie, with a view to sur-
prise de Loubois, who was quartered in their temple, but
it failed. During the night of the 19th-20th, a trench
was opened two hundred and eighty fathoms from the
fort, and on the 21st the cannonade was renewed. "If
the opening of the trench was so long delayed, this de-
lay," says Mr. Perrier, in one of his letters, "was caused
by the ill-will of our soldiers find some other Frenchmen,
who thereby prevented the entire destruction of the
Natchez."

as many Indians, and some negroes, to storm the two
forts the next day ; but this was not carried out. On the
24;th, a battery of four four pounders was planted within
a hundred and eighty fathoms, and at the same time they
threatened to reduce the besieged to powder, if they did not
surrender the prisoners they held. They immediately sent
back the wife of the Sieur Desnoyers, to whom thi'y confided
theii- proposals. She was retained and no answer sent."

Porrier pretends that what obliged de Louboia to rest 1 73°-
satisfied with saving the prisouors still iu the hands of the """^"^
Indians, without attempting an assault, was, iu the first whntsavcd
l)lace, because ho could not depend upon his troops, espe-
cially after seeing them abandon the troncli, as thoy did
on the 22nd; in the second place, that the Choctaws
were suspected of a design of betraying us ; thirdly, that
the enemy had spread the report that the Chickasaws
and English were coming to their assistance. Mean-
while, on the 25th, the fort most closely invested ' hoisted
a flag. A Choctaw chief at once advanced with a party
of his men, to speak to the besieged. " Do you remem-
ber, or have you ever seen," said he, " that Indians ever
kept the field in such numbers before a fort for two
months ? Judge by this our zeal for the French. Hence
it is useless for you, a mere handful of men compared
with us, to refuse ai.y longer obstinately to give up the
prisoners whom you hold, for if the French were to fire
all their cannon, you would soon be iu powder. For our
part, know that we are resolved to keep you blockaded
here till you submit to what is required of you, if we have
to plant grain and settle here."

Perrier assures us, in his letters, that in this parley, or
in some other interview, the Natchez reproached the
Choctaws in the presence of the French, with having
themselves entered the general conspiracy, of which they
gave all the particulars.'

The fact is, that these Indians hoisted their flag only They ^ivu
to make known that they consented to give up the prison- Frcncii
ers ; but thoy at thu same time declared tlxat we must bo umi the
satisfied with that, and before ail else, the army with its ruUud.
cannon must withdraw to the bank of the river ; if not
that, they would burn all their prisoners. This last con-

given up to the Choctaws, and the army withdrew to tho
bluflf on the riverside, having had during tho whole siege
only nine men killed and wouudod.* On the night of the
28th-29th, tho Natchez, having succooded in outwittiug
tho French who had boon appointed to watch thorn, es-
caped, and this was perceived only when it was too late to
pursue thorn.' Thus the sole fruit of this expcdiiion was
tho rescue of tho prisoners, who hud next to be rausoined
fi'om the Choctaws,' and the erection of a fort ou the
very spot to which they had retired. Tho Chovalior
d'Aitaguottc,* who had oxtromoly distinguished himself in
all the engagements, was left atj commandant with a gar-
rison, in order to secure tho navigation of tho river.

It is admitted that the soldiers acted very badly at the
siege i that fifteen negroes, who were put under arms,
fought like heroes, and that if all tho others could have
been armed and put in the placo of tho soldiers, they
■would have succeeded in storming the besieged works.
Tho settlers, commanded by d'Arembourg and do Laye,
also did very well.^ They cheerfully undertook all tho
labors, and whatever else was ordered. " These Creoles,"
says Mr. Perrior, " will be good soldiers as soon as they

Before resolving to make war ou tho Natchez, the Choo- inaoUnco
taws had gone to thoui to enter into some uogotiatiuu ciioeuw*.
with them, aud I .loy had met wilii a straigo euougli rocep-
tion. They found those Indians and thoir horsos docked
with chasubles and autopoudiums ; many wore pateus
around thoir nocks ; drunk aud made others drink brandy
out of tho chalices and ciboiiums. In a word, they found
nothing in the chapel that thoy had not put to the moat
profane aud sacrilogions use. This highly pleased tho
Choctaws, who in iho sotpiol, securing this booty, renewed
the profanation commiLtod by their enemies, aud it was
fouud impossible to rescue all from their hands. More-
over, had these savages rendered the French all the ser-
vice in their power, by acting in couctirt with them, their
evil ilispositiou always xuade them most odious to tho
colony. " There had never yet been soon in all America,"
wrote a missionary, eye-witness of eveiythiug thou occur-
ring, " Indiaus more iusolout, more ferocious, more disgust-
ing, more importunate, more insatiable."

However, they wore still needed, and had to be man-
aged. Tho Natchez wore uot destroyed ; they could in
future be regarded only as irreconcilable enemies, aud it
was to be expected that as long as they subsisted, thoy
would do us through themselves and through tho enemies
whom they would endeavor to raise up against us, all tho
evil possible to savages, who had no tei'ms to make. Tho
Chickusaws ilid not yet ai)pear, but we wero conscious
tiiat they wore the authors of the whole trouble, aud their
engagements with the English loft no doubt but that thoy
would bo powerfully supported by tho latter whenever
tlioy thought fit to lift the mask. Tho sequel only justi-

which guvo all the other negroes such a horror of the In-
dians lis to make them more docile aud more faithful.' The
Yazoos, Corrois and Tioux, were not more fortunate than
the Natchez. The Akausas fell on them and made a per-
fect muasacre ; of the two former nations, only fifteen
Indians remained, who hastened tu join the Natchez ; the
Tioux were all killed to a man.

„. , Ti'« About the same time it was discovered that the Chicka-

ill vahi saws, after a useless attempt to draw the Akausas aud

iiaciity of iomcas mto the general conspu'acy, had applied also, but
with as Uttle success, to the Illinois ; these Indians reply-
ing curtly, that as they were all Christians, the Chickasawa
must never expect to detach them from the French ; that
they would always place themselves between them and
their enemies, who would have to trample over their
dead bodies before they could touch one of the French.
They soon after learned what had been done at the Nat-
chez aud Yuzoos, and at once two troops of Mitchigamias
and Kaskasquias, led by the two head chiefs of those two
Illinois tribes, descended to New Orleans, to bewail tho
missionaries who had perished in that massacre, and offer
the General all who depended ou them to avenge the
French. Mr. Perrier gave them audience with much
pomp, and they spoke as Christians and faithful alUes, in
a manner that charmed all. Nor did they edify the whole
city less by their piety and the correctness of their con-
duct, aud they took leave of the General, promising him
to guard well their- own country, and all the upper part of
the river.
T,,p Mr. Perrier next learned that the EngUsh had earnestly

the Minister that, placed as ho was, ho needed a prompt

unch more than tho maintouanco of troops ; that if you ' 73o-
employed those ludiaus, you would bo always at tho mor- """^f^
cy of thoir caprice and inconstancy ; that they got tho
idea that wo applied to them only because wo wore inca-
pable of making war, and so prevalent had this opinion
become among all those nations, that tho smallest, putty
tribe regarded itself as the bulwark and protection of
the colony. That after five or six years, tho num-
ber of troops might be gradual' decreased, as during
that time tho Creoles would multiply and bo trained ; that
then we should have even more Indians ready to side
with us wlion they saw that wo no longer needed them.

For some time the Natchez had not been heard of, but ^.'''''"
at last tidings came that they wore renewing their raids ; rcmw tiieir
that they had surprised ten Frenchmen and twenty ne-
groes, and t)iat none had escaped but a young soldier,
who had already escaped the great massacre of November
28tli, and two negroes. The General then saw that no
time was to be lost in rendering that nation utterly inca-
pable of injuring us ; and as the intrigues of tho English
among tlie Choctaws had increased his anxiety in regard
to those Indians, he deemed it imperative to begin by
setting his mind at rest in regard to them. He accord-
ingly resolved on having an explanation from the chiefs,
and notified them of his wish to have an interview with
them at Maubilo. Ho fixed a time when he would go
there, and when ho judged that they would soon arnvo,
ho left New Orleans, where his presence was less necessa-
ry now that reinforcements had arrived from Franco, as I
shall soon explain.

On lauding, he found that they had anticipated the uuy
by twenty-four hours. He was even agreeably surprised
to see there the Chief of the Caouitas, a numerous tribe,
strongly attached to tho English, and a Chickasaw chief.
He began by inquiring from tho Siour Regis, fi'om Father
Baudoiu, tho Jesuit who was endeavoring to establish a
mission among tho Choctaws, and from the interpreters,
what effect had been produced on the mind of the Indians

Wostoru chiofs hud uusworod for tho good fuith of our
uatiou, addiug: "It is tho Euglish who corrupt our miud."
Porsuadod by this language, they hail started for Mau-
bilo, which they eutorod ou the 2Gth of October, to thu
uumber of eight huudrod mou. Ou the 28th, Porrier,
who had arrived on tho 27th, began to treat with them,
and he had to submit to a hundred and tifty harangues,
which took up a week. Tho substanco of all was that
the Indians bogged him to assure tho King of thuir
inviolable fidelity ; that thoy would never forgot that he it
was who had made men of them, and rendered them a
terror to thoir neighbors ; that some rumors unfavorable
to tho French had indeed circulated in their villages, but
that such language came only from somo madcaps, and
that the chiefs and sachems had not been parties to it ;
that they beggod him not to blame thom for it, and to for-
get tho past. This he promised, and spoke to them only
concerning tho negroes retaken from tho Natchez, whom
thoy still kept, although thoy had pledged their word to
bring them into tho colony. Thoy replied that thoy had
always intended to bring them back, but that thoir mas-
ters must send for them, because somo whom they tried
to bring back killed themselves ou the way.

Although a good understanding seemed quite well re-
stored between the Eastern and tho Western Choctaws,
the General nevertheless perceived that they were still
somewhat jealous of each other, and as ho was much
surer of the latter than of tho former, he represented to
those thai it was uecossary for them to have a head chief
like tho others. He added that for this dignity ho had
cast his eyes on tho Chief of the Castachas,' whom they

aud he declared that ho would bo devoted to the French
as long as he lived ; that ho saw that the advice wo gave
was always good ; that ho wished the Euglish thought as
they did, as all nations would be tho happier for it.

Mr. Porrier also jrive audience to the Chickasaw chiof,
but adopted a diiTerout tone with him. He told him,
however, that ho was very glad to see him ; that whou his
nation returned to its duty, ho would treat it like tho rest,
and that it depended on them to live calmly and happily ;
that he was ignorant of none of their intrigues, but that
he would resume his paternal feelings for them, when they
themselves acted as submissive and obedient children.
Tliis man made no reply, but a week after, ho asked tho
Castacha chiof to tell tho General that they were unhap-
py, aud really worthy of compassion ; that since ho had with-
drawn the French who traded with them, all the northern
nations made unrelenting war on them. Perrior told the
one who spoke thus to assui'o that chiof that no nation of
his province should attack them, as long as they gave him
no other cause of complaint, but that ho did not answer
for the Canada Iiidiana.. as they were thoroughly con-
vinced that they were enemies of tho French ; that they
must prove tho contrary by unequivocal acta.

Tho most delicate point on which Mr. Perrier had to
treat with the Ch(jctaws, was trade. Ho know that they
complained loudly of tho dearnoss of our goods, nor was
ho unaware that the English had promised to furnish
their goods at half any price we might set on ours. On
the other hand, ho was well convinced that if he made

order: The army was divided into three battalions, or
three squadrons. The marines under de Salvort on the
right, the militia under de Benac on the left ; the General
in the centre, having under him the Baron de Cresnay
commandant of the Louysiana troops, the Chevalier
d'Artaguotto commanding the grenadier company, the
Sieur Baron acting as engineer, and the fusileers ; a part
of the latter were at the French fort at Natchez, whence
Mr. de Lusser was to march with them to Bed River.
The negroes were scattered in different boats, and the In-
dians, who had not aU assembled yet, were to form a
corps by themselves.

On the 27th they had made but little progress, as
snows and rain had swollen the river and increased its cur-
rents, while the fogs were so dense and continual as to
force them every moment to stop.

This day news came that de Coulonges and de Beau-
liou had been attacked by the Natchez, and that of twen-
ty-four men in the Frerch batteau, sixteen had been
killed or wounded ; Beaulieu among the former, and Cou-
longes among the latter.' To crown the disastrous intelli-
gence, it was also reported that the Akansas, weary of
hearing no tidings of the French force, had gone home.
Perrier halted some time at the Bay of the Tonicas, to
assemble the Indians, who had not yet come in ; he was
blamed for not having arranged to send them on in ad-
vance to blockade the Natchez in their fort ; but he prob-
ably had not sufficient confidence in these Indians to en-
triist them with a luovemeut on which all the success of
the campaign depended. The CanadiaLS, who readily
blamed everything that was done, since the colony was no
longer goverued by one of themselves, judged the Louy-
siana by the Canada Indians, and in this were mistaken.
Perrier might have maureuvred differently if ho had had
Abeuaqiiis, Hurons, Aigouquins and Iroquois to deal with,
all Christians, and long domiciliated among us.

Riv3r on the 4th of January, 1731, with several Indians, ^72^-
who now amounted to a hundred and fifty of various na- ' ''''~'
tions. He had some days before ordered de Benac to as-
cend to our Natchez fort to obtain information. He re-
turned on the ninth without having seen anything or
heard any intelligence. The same day the Indians and a
hundred and fifty volunteers were detached to take the
advance under Captain de Layo of the militia, and block-
ade the Natchez as soon as they were discovered ; but
this detachment did not proceed far, the Indians not going
willingly on this expedition. On the eleventh, they as-
cended Red River, and at noon the next day they entered
the Black. The General had commanded the greatest
precaution to avoid being discovered by the enemy ; but
his orders were unavailing, as the Indians, recognizing no
authority and observing no discipline, continued to lire, as
usual with them, at all game that showed itself ; so that it
is rather astonishing that they succeeded in finding the
enemy in his fort after so long a march and so little secrecy.

It was on the 20th of January that they discovered tho u'he anny
enemy. Orders were at once given to invest the n, and as tSe^tmemy,
this was done closely, and they were within speaking dis-
tance, the besieged began by invectives. The trenches
were opened and skirmishing kept up all day and all
night. The next day the mortars and all things necessa-
ry for tho siege were landed. Some shells wore then
thrown, which fell inside tho fort. Tho besieged made a
uortie, killed one' Frenchman and one negro, and wound-
ed an officer, but they were sharply repulsed by Mr. de
Lusser. Shells wore thrown all through the 22nd, but
produced no great result, and the enemy wounded two of
our soldiers. However, on the 21th, they hoisted a white
flag. Perrier at once raised a similar one at the head of
his trench, and soon after an Indian was seen api)roach-
iug with two calumets in his hand.

but he also required that tho chiefs should come to con-

not come, but that if tho General had anything to com-
municate to them, he might advance to tho head of the
trench, and that tho Head Chief would on his side ad-
vance to the edge of his fort. Perrier told him to go at
all events and get the negroes, and that on his return he
Mould announce his intentions.

He returned with this reply and in half an hour
brought eighteen negroes and one ncgress. On restoring
them to the General, he told him that the Sun would not
come out, yet that he asked nothing except to make
peace ; but on condition that the army should at once re-
tiro ; that if it adopted this course, he pledged his word
that his nation would never commit any hostility against
the French, and that he was even ready, if desired, to go
and restore his village in its old site. The General re-
plied thiiL he would listen to no proposition till tho chiefs
came to moot him ; that ho assured them their lives ; but
that if they did not come to him that very day, there
should be no quarter for any one.

The envoy returned ^v ith this message, and after a time
came back to say that all the warriors, with one accord, re-
fused to let the Suu come out ; that this excepted, tLsy were
disposed to do anything required. The cannon had just
arrived ; the General replied to this Indian that he held
to his first proposition, and ordered him to notify his peo-
ple that if they allowed a single cannon to be fired, he
would put all lo tho sword, without sparing even tho wo
men and children. This man soon returned with a Nat-
che named St. Come, a son of the woman Chief, and who
consequently would have succeeded tho Sun. This In-
dian, who had at all times been quite familiar with the
French, told Mr. Perrier in a very resolute tone, that,
inasmuch as peace had boon coucludod, ho ought to di.s-
miss his trotjps ; that ho was very sorry for what his na-

tion had done against us, but that all should bo forgotten,
especially as the prime mover iu all the mischief had
been killed iu the first siege during the Choctaw attack.

Perrior expressed his pleasure at seeing him, but insist-
ed absolutely on seeing the Head Chief also ; that he
would no longer bo trilled with, and that no Natcho must
again think of coming to his presence except in company "HlVf "como
with the Sun, as he would fire on any one advancing to "amp''''
make new proposals ; that he accordingly permitted him
to return to his fort, but that if the Head Chief did not
come forth as soon as he got in, he would reduce the fort
to ashes with his bombs. Saint Come at once took leave
of him, and in half an hour was seen coming forth with
the Sun, and another called the Flour Chief, (Chef de la
Fariue.) The last was the real author of the massacre of
the French ; but Saint Come had wished to throw the
fault on another. They appeared at the moment when
preparations were making to attack the fort during the
coming night.

Mr. Perrier sent soldiers to meet them and conduct
them to his quarters. The Sun told the General that he
was charmed to treat with him, and that he came to re-
peat to him what he had told him through the envoy ;
that it was not he who had killed the French ; that he
was then too young to speak, and that it was the ancients
who had formed this criminal project. "I am well
aware," ho added, " that it will always be ascril)ed to me,
because I was the sovereign of my nation, yet I am
quite innocent." In fact, it has always been believed in
the colony that his whole crime was iu not daring to re-
sist his nation, or notify the French of what was plotting
against them. Up to that time , and especially before he
attained the dignity of Sun, he had never given any
grounds to tiistrust him. Saint Come, who was likewise
not hostile to the French, also cleared him as well as
he could ; but the other chief merely said that he regret-
ted deeply all that had happened. " We had no sense,"
he continued, "but hereafter we shall have." As they

as they entered, he placed four sentinels there, and ap-

He then summoned the Head Chief of the Tonicas
and a Natcho chief, called the Stung Serpent, (Le Ser-
pent Picquo,^ to endeavor by these moans to extiact some
light from his prisono'*; but it seems that these two
men could ehcit nothing new. My authorities do not
state whether the Stung Serpent was tlien in our camp
as a friend or as a prisoner, but towards the close
of 1721, while I was at the Natchez, I saw that he was
regarded as the best friend we had in that nation, and he
was said to be a very close relation of the Sun.' The
commission confided to him by Perrier induces me to be-
lieve that he had always remained strongly attached to us.

that he would blow out the brains of the first who stirred

Sun was, aud informed him that the Flour Chief had come
into the fort ; that having awaked his nephew and eight
or ten of the oldest warriors, he had told them that the
French intended to burn them all ; that for his part, he
was sternly resolved no longer to remain exposed to fall
into their hands, and that ho advised them to seek safety
with him ; that they had followed his advice and escaped
with their wives and children ; that all the others had de-
liberated whether to do the same, but had deferred too
long coming to a resolution, and day breaking, they saw
that escape was impossible. On this, tlie Head Chief
told Mr. le Sueur that the Flour Chief was a usurper,
who, although not noble, had seized the place he occu-
pied, which made him the third person in the nation, and
gave him absolute power over all whom he commanded.

In the evening, Mr. Perrier went to see the Sun, and
declared to him that he must send orders to all his sub-
jects to come forth from the fort unarmed, with their
wives and children ; that he would spare their lives and
prevent the Indians from illtreating them. He obeyed,
and at once sent orders by the Natcho who had come to
bear the message I have mentioned; but all refused to
submit. The wife of the Head Chief came to him the
same day, with his brother and some others of his family,
and Perrier gave hor a hearty welcome, in consideration
of the kindness she had shown the French women during
their captivity. They were anxious to have the woman
Chief, who had even more influence in the nation than the
Sun himself. The wife of the Chief went repeatedly to
the fort to induce her to come out, but her exhortations
were unavailing. About thirty-five men and two hundred
women surrendered towards two o'clock in the afternoon ;
the rest were told that unless they did the same at once, the
cannonade would begin, and that as soon as it opened,
tliero should be no mercy for any one. They replied that
we might fire when we chose ; that they did not fear
death. Yet it is certain that there were only seventy
warriors at most, remaining in the fort ; that they had not

a single chief, aud that most of them kept themselves
shut up from the fear of fulling iuto the hands of the
Indians if they attempted to escape separately, or of be-
ing perceived by the besiegers if they all escaped in a body.

They were not, however, cannonaded; moreover, the
weather was fearful, the rain having been incessant for
three days ; the besieged trusted that the French would
be less careful in watching the passes, and they were
not mistaken. About eight o'clock at night, Mr. de Be-
nac sent word to Mr. Perrier that they were escaping.
The trenches and all the posts at once were ordered to
fire, but the fugitives passed unperceived along a bayoa
or little river, which ran between the quarter of the mili-
tiaf and that of the Baron de Cresnay; and before it
was known, and we entered the fort, they were already
far off with their wives and children. Only one woman
was found, who had been just delivered of a child, and
one man in the act of escaping.'

The next day, the 26th, we endeavored to induce the
Indians to pursue these fugitives, but they refused, say-
ing that as they had escaped by our fault, it was our
business to pursue them; so that having no longer any
enemies to tight, our troops had to think of returning.
The same day, all the prisoners were bound ; the Sun, his
brother, brother-in-law, Baint Come and all of that
family were put on board the Saint Louis. Forty war-
riors were put in the demi-galley commanded by le Sueur.
The women and children, numbering in all three hundi'ed
and eighty-seven persons, were distributed among the
other vessels. The whole army embarked on the 27th,
aud on the 5th of February reached New Orleans.*

The war was far from being finished. Le Sueur had

informed that the Flour Chief might have assembled
sixty or seventy men, a hundred women, and a great num-
ber of children.

Le Sueur having acquired all this information, proceed-
ed to report it to the General, and told him that if he
would allow him to take all the well-disposed men, he be-
lieved he could guarantee to master all these separate
corps ; but he was refused. Perrier had not, perhaps, all
the confidence in the Canadians that most of them de-
served, and brough*/ up in a service where disciphno and
subordination are at the highest point, he could not con-
ceive that anything of importance can be effected with
militia, who acknowledged no law of war but groat
bravery and invincible patience in the severest marches
and most laborious works. He would doubtless have
tl\ought otherwise had he reflected that rules must be
adapted according to the enemy's manner of fighting.

However, we were not slow in perceiving that the Nat-
chez could still render themselves formidable, and that
the step of sending the Sun and all who had been taken
with him to be sold as elaves in St. Domingo, had rather

173'- exasperated than intimidated tho remnant of that nation,

"•""y-^ in whom hatred and despair had transformed their natu-

Tiio ciiiof ^""^^ pride and ferocity into a valor of which they were

Tx!ilinia never deemed capable. In the month of April, the Head

hiuis^rAo Chief of the Tonicas descended to New Orleans, and

Burp^uod ^°^'^ Porrier that while he was hunting, four Natchez had

""b' ui'e'"^ come to him to beg him to make terms for them with the

Natchez. iVench, adding that all, including those who had taken

refuge among the Chickasaws, asked to bo received and

pardoned ; that they would reside wherever it was wished,

but that they should be glad to be near the Tonicas, and

that he came to ascertain his intentions.

Perrier replied that he consented to their settling two
leagues from his village, but not nearer, to avoid all occa-
sion of quarrel between the two nations ; but that above
all things, he exacted that they should come unarmed.
The Tonica promised to conform to this order ; yet as
soon as he reached home, ho received thirty Natchez into
his village, after taking the precaution to disarm them.
At the same time fifteen other Natchez and twenty wom-
en came to the Baron de Cresnay, whom they found in
the fort which had been built on theu' old grounds. A
few days after, the Flour Chief arrived among the Toni-
cas with a hundred men, theii- women and children, hav-
ing concealed fifty Chickasaws and Corrois in the cane-
brake around the village.

The Head Chief informed them that he was forbidden
to receive them unless they gave up their arms ; they re-
plied that this was indeed their intention, but they
begged him to consent to let them keep them some time
longer, lest their women, seeing them disarmed, should
think themselves prisoners condemned to death. He con-
sented ; then food was distributed to their new guests,
and they danced till after midnight, after which the Toni-
cas retired to their cabins, thinking that of course the
Natchez would also go to rest. Bui, soon after, that is to
say, one hour before day, for it was the llth day of June,
tho Natchez, and apparently the Chickasaws and Cor-

foil upon all tho cabins, ami Kliui;,'hterocl all whom thoy
surprised asleep. The Head Chief ran up at the noise,
and at first killed four Natchez ; but overborne by num-
bers, ho was slain witli some twelve of his warriors. His
war-chief, undismayed by this loss or the flight of most of
his braves, rallied a dozen, with whom he regained the
Head Chiefs cabin ; he even succeeded in recalling the
rest, and after fighting for five days and nights almost
without intermission, remained master of his village. Tho
Tonicas on this occasion had twenty men killed and as
many wounded. They killed of the Natchez thirty-three
men, and took three prisoners, whom they burned.'

Perrier no sooner received this tidings, than ho dis-
patched a detachment, under the command of the Cheva-
lier d'Artaguette, to induce as many Indians as he could
to pursue the Natchez. At the same time ho ordered
the Baron de Cresnay to make sure of all those who had
surrendered to him ; he obeyed, but his adjutant, to
whom he confided them, having allowed them to retain
their knives, they sprang, at a moment when it was least
expected, on eight muskets which were stacked, and with
these kept up a fire till they were all killed, men, women
and children, to the number of thirty-seven. Their chief
had gone to New Orleans with fifteen of his men ; these
were arrested and sent to Toulouse Island, where they
were put in irons. They found means to break them, but
had not time to escape, and were all killed.

Meanwhile the Flour Chief, after the miscarriage of his
plot at the Tonicas, proceeded to join those of his nation S'. ixnysut

^^""^•"""^ from Now Orleans at the head of sixty men to ruinforco
him. Ho hail aJvauceil six leagues up lUul lliver, and
was only seven or eight days' march from the Natchito-
ches, when the Sieur Fontaine, sent by do Saint Denys
to Perrier, informed him that the Natchez had been de-
feated ; that the Natchitoches had at the outset wislicd to
attpck them, but being only forty against two hundred,
they had been compelled to retire, and even abandon
their village after losing four of their men ; that the Nat-
chez had seized the village, and intrenched themselves
there ; that then de Saint Denys, having received a rein-
forcement of Assinais and Attacapas, who were joined by
some Spaniards, had attacked the enemy's intrenchments
and killed eighty-two, including all their chiefs ; that all
the survivors had taken Hight, and that the Natchitoches
were in close pursuit.'
Fcreesof So m&nj losses, and especially the loss of the chiefs,

Baws. reduced the Natchez to a mere tribal band ; but there
wore enough left to harass the settlers of Louysia-
na, and to interrupt trade. Moreover, it was impossible
to dissemble any longer with the Chickasaws, who were
not long now in declaring themselves openly, which they
had hitherto avoided doing. They numbered a thousand
warriors, and eighty or a hundred Natchez might yet join
them, to say nothing of the few remaining Corrois and
Yazoos. This was enough to plunge the colony back into
the panic from which it had not entirely recovered, and
it beheld itself on the eve of sustaining a new war, to
which its present forces did not promise a speedy termi-
nation.

Their The Chickasaws, the fiercest and bravest of all the
cxcUcoiir Louysiana Indians, after raising the mask as they had
" mx)it. ° just done at the Tonicas, expected, of course, that we

would ceaso to trout them ho conHidonvtoly. To check us, '73'-
tlioy had takcu steps which led mou to bolicvo that their ^^^"^""^
neighbors directed ull their movoiuouts, iiiid in ii very
short time we had proofs that wore by no moiius equivo-
cal. They bogau by sendiug to New Orloaus a trusty ne-
gro, to notify all of his race who were among us, that it
dejjended on themselves alone to recover their liberty and
live in quiet and plenty among the English.

This man managed his intrigues well ; he was heard with 'riioaiiintcr
pleasure by all his race ; but Perrior was warned by a no- uiiMu^ua
gross, a servant in the city, that a plot was formed by a imnuhcd.
groat number of these slaves; that they had agreed to
take the time of the parochial High Mass to set fire to
various houses in order to occupy apart from each other,
all not at church, and then to seize this favorable con-
juncture to escape. On this deposition, the Command-
ant-General arrested a woman who was the mainspring of
the conspiracy, and four men, who had been declared the
chiefs. They were confronted and convicted ; the woman
was hung and the men broken alive, and these examples,
which showed the rest that their secret had taken wind,
was enough to keep the rest in their duty.'

Meanwhile the Choctaws, of whom a part had been
gained by the Chickasaws, had turned a deaf ear to the
invitations made by the Sieur Regis in behalf of his gen-
eral to send three hundred of their warriors against our Ihlfchieka^
enemies; but thirty or forty of these last having been """"■
killed in an engagement by the French, this little check
lost them the alliance of that nation, the only one from
whom they had anything to fear or hope : it all united in
our favor. Then the Chickasaws again turned to the Mi-
amis, Illinois and Akausas ; but they found tribes who were
still faithful to their first engagements, and who from
the outset dissipated all their hopes of gaining them.
The Illinois even gave up to the Commandant-General
the three ambassadors whom oui enemies had sent them.

Oovoruor of Louy.siaua for tho King. On tho 22ud of
January in this year, tho Company had deliberated tho
question of conveying back to his majesty the grant
which had boon made to it of that province and the Uli-
uois country and their exclusive privilege, ou condition of
being empowered to grant permissions to tho merchants
of the kingdom who might wish to trade thoro. Ou tho
27th of March, tliis deliberation was approved by au Ar-
ret, and Mr. do Siilmon, who was discharging at New Or«
leans tho duties of Commiasaire Ordonnatour, took posses-
sion of the country in tho name of his majesty, by Letters
Patent of the King, on tlio 10th of April following.

However, Mr. Porrier had not tho time to profit by tho
measures which he had adopted to push on the Chicka-
saw War. Ho preferred tho service in which ho had
been brought up, to expeditions where tho risks incurred
could not be compensated by the glory that might bo ao-
quired, and ho was relieved in 1733 by Mi do Bienville,'
whom ho bad succeeded in 1726. Tho Governor

found himself at once burthoued with Jio Chickasaw
W^ar, which had become a much more serious matter than
Lad been at first supposed. This war is not yet terminat-
ed, as we cannot flatter ourselves that the peace recently
granted them will be durable ; moreover, the events which
it has furnished for history are so differently related, that
it is not yet possible to distinguish the truth amid the clouds
in which the friends and enemies of the principal actors
Lave enveloped it.'
